You either pay the ETF to get out of contract or buy it full price or prove to them you're getting deployed overseas.
Besides that they wont unlock it for other reasons. You can try though.
Or best and easier option below.
Pay $5-6 on ebay and purchase an IMEI unlock for it.

You can only do this if the iPhone has completed the contract cycle. Otherwise the only options as stated above is to pay the ETF and request the unlock from them or purchase an IMEI unlock.

You thought wrong.
