how do i go awol from the army and not get caught?

You don't. You would get caught sooner or later, the feds would see to that. You would then get prison time and a Dishonorable Discharge which will follow you your entire life. Do your time, get discharged honorably, and then move on with your life.

Check with the probation officer.  \n\nYou do know that anything you do can get your military boyfriend in trouble right?

It is not as easy as quitting a civilian job but it can be done. Basically, you can't quit, but they can "fire" or discharge you. There are several options:\n\nEntry Level Performance and Conduct -  Discharge for members in their first 180 days of active duty \n\nConscientious Objection - An objection to participation in war. This one is becoming very difficult to get.\n\nHomosexual Conduct or "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" - If a member intends to engage in homosexual acts\n \nHardship or Dependency - A family member requires a servicemember's presence\n \nDisability - A physical or psychological condition that significantly interferes with fitness for duty \n\nOther Designated Physical and Mental Conditions (ODPMC) - Physical or mental conditions, not amounting to a disability, that interfere with a servicemember's performance \n\nPregnancy and Childbirth, Single Parenthood, and Erroneous and Defective Enlistment as also possiblilties if applicable.\n\nKeep in mind though that you signed a contract with the Guard. Any discharge will probably be dishonorable or "less than honorable" and this will be on your permanent record - you need to put it on all future job applications that you recieved a dishonorable discharge. Not something employers look for...

if hes found he could get in trouble not severe though. i used to work in the brig at camp pendleton and escorted awol detainees.\nit all depends on what he's done with himself since he went ua\nup until the 4th week hes not awol yet. ask yourself these questions 1 how long has he been in service? if less than a year,cannot conform to military lifestyle. my advice is tell him to lay low stay away from any thing to do with trouble, because the way the military works now is that they use your social security number to find you mostly by a police stoppage. about employment employers do not have the clearance to check military records unless its a gov job,local city state or federal.he dosent even have to claim a veteran status.tell him to stay out of trouble and get a job fast,there is a discharge called a good of service discharge,it works like this, if he gets employment to care for family and has not been a slacker ,if found it is possible to get time served and a good of service discharge.if there are family problems that he just had to take care of he could get an admin separation.  bottom line is the longer hes away the better it will be for him if they do find him.

I am currently in the Army and am writing this from Southwest Asia.  I love being in the Army.  Where else can you get paid to jump out of planes, go to the range, and travel.  Sometimes these experiences have their downsides but I wouldn't trade any of it.  You meet people with backgrounds very different from your own and that helps you grow.  The Army offers a lot of opportunities that you can't find anywhere else.  Even people who decide not to stay in often say how the Army gave them a direction and helped them to be more disciplined.  The other answers on being wary when you talk to a recruiter are good.  Really research what you want to do in the Army and make sure you get it in writing.  Good luck.

Git yer pansy butt down there and SIGN the papers!  If you are so scared of fighting, you should sign up intentionally for the infantry.  Then you can face it and get over it.  Don't worry, if you're a total swish you will get bounced out of boot camp.  Either way you'll get it settled.  Once you get one or two missions under your belt you'll probably be the most gung-ho mf out there!  There's not much worse than trying to live with some nagging fear that you never had the guts to face up to.

Unfortunately nowadays...it is VERY difficult for them to let go. I got a General Discharge under Honorable conditions while being activated under the Army reserves. My best advice is to get out if you are not deployed. Fail PT tests or gain weight. If you are deployed it will be that much harder...It will take time, but if you don't mind it is possible. Seek for a medical discharge or you have to file a claim against their beleifs...something like you are against war and can not be in the Army beacuse of your religion. It will take time, but it will be worth it. GOOD LUCK!\n...FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CLUE, IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, AND SOMETIMES YOU ARE NOT TOLD THE TRUTH, NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY, BUT TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL, HELP WITH SCHOOL, AND THE ACTUAL JOB YOU WOULD BE DOING. I SIGNED UP TO BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST, AND I ENDED UP BEING DEPLOYED FOR POSTAL WORK IN SOME INFANTRY UNIT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF IRAQ. I HAD NO TIME FOR SCHOOL, WHEN I APPLIED FOR VA ASSISTANCE I WAS DENIED, AND MOST OF ALL WHEN I WAS SICK THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID 'WELL YOU LOOK PHYSICALLY OKAY, SO O WELL.' THEY FINALLY LET ME GO, WHEN I SHOWED THEM PROOF OF MY REGUALR DR. AND SAW THAT I WAS NOT OKAY!

The only ways to get out of the National Guard without adverse repercussions are:  (1) to serve your time and get an honorable discharge, (2) to get a hardship discharge -- and you have to meet the criteria for it, usually involves death of a parent or spouse, (3) be discharged for medical reasons -- you didn't do anything wrong, but you no longer meet the physical qualifications required to serve in the National Guard.\n\nOnce you sign the papers and take the oath you can't change your mind and "back out."  You're expected to honor your contract, and if you're involuntarily discharged from the National Guard for misconduct or unsatisfactory performance, that's going to stick with you for the rest of your life.  ANY employer (including McDonald's) who has a job applicant that received anything other than an honorable discharge will want to know why, and in most cases those who don't get an honorable discharge don't get a job.

Your only choice is to do your time.  Two and a half years isn't that long, get additional training for something when you get out.  Your only other choice is to do something dumb and get out other than Honorable.

First, are you AWOL or are you a deserter?  If I remember right, AWOL is for 30 days or less and desertion is for more than 30 days.  There is a huge difference.  You need to contact your unit and turn yourself in.  Not to scare you or anything, desertion can carry a UCMJ penalty up to life in prison and death.  With AWOL you can get some time, and Article 15 and a dishonorable discharge from the military.

First, before you go have it in your mind that YOU WILL NOT EVER GIVE UP! That's what is going to get you throuh.  Rememberthat Basic Training isn't really as hard as it is going to seem like and millions of other American Soldiers have completed the training.  You can get through it- you just have to keep trying and keep a positive additude.  Never quit when you feel like quitting, and you will have times when you feel like quitting.  Erase from your brain that quitting is even an option.  Your mental and emotional state needs to be solid before you get to Reception- it will help everything else fall into place.  Leave your relationships back home on a good note; try not to levae any unfinished business that you'll have to go back to. It will only make you worry about other things when you need to concentrate on training.\nOnce you get that prepared. . . .\nRun, Run, Run, Run, do push- ups and sit-ups, and then run some more.  Most females have the toughest time with push-ups and running, so make sure that you are as prepared as you can be. That being said, you will still get smoked, no matter how good of a shape you can work yourself up to, the Drill SGTs will push you harder.  Remember that this is a good thing and take something from it- teh Drill SGTs will make you better than you thought you could be, if you let them. This will be a chance for you do to things that you never expected and will teach you that your limits aren't as low as you thought the were.  Overall, it's a positive experience; one that you can be glad of.  Try to enjoy the challenges, but take them seriously- you will probably have to use what you learned someday soon.  \nI'd advise keeping your hair at least long enough to pull it back into a bun.  Shorter hair requires constant maintence to keep it within the regulations, and you won't have much time for that, and you don't want o have to worry about a dozen bobby pins every day. Don't expect long showers, or many chances to shave your legs either, but you'll get used to it, and make the time if it's important to you.  Good luck!\nOh- one last thing- start getting used to drinking lots of water!

This can be handled in many fashions.\n\nI would have to know your rank to get into the details.\n\nHowever I can tell you one way that will work\nreguardless of rank.  It is the safest way.\n\nRequest Mast.  You can bypass the First Sergeant because Request Mast offically runs the officers in your chain of command.  You can bypass the lower ranking officers, if you state your desire to do so in the request mast.  If you do this, make sure the problems you have with your First Sergeant are Not your Fault!!\n\nIf I can be of any other assistance, please let me know!\n\nMSGT Brinegar abrinegar@yahoo.com
