No. I was honorably discharged just before Desert Shield. The closest I came was when we were on 24 hour alert for Operation Just Cause in 1989.\n\nEven if I re-enlisted, I was scheduled to be rotated to shore duty.

He might as well just stay where he is. He wont be able to get out completly with an honorable discharge. If he were to switch to another branch (very difficult to do, you should contact your local recruiting station) his time would restart and he would end up staying in the armed forces longer.

Complicated question....\n\nWhen you say discharged...if you mean they served their initial 4 year (example) obligation and then were discharged from active duty 99% of soldier still have a 3 or 4 year reserve duty obligation.  Mine was 3 years.  If this is the case, yes they can be called back to active duty due to their reserve duty obligation.\n\nLegal?  Yes.  Who ever you are speaking about should have....or should now read the contract they originally signed.  It is all in there.\n\nThey don't want to go?  As I understand it they will be considered as UA...Unauthorized Absence. Then after a certain time (perhaps 10 days...nor sure of the current time frame) they will be considered AWOL....Absent Without Leave.  At this point they will start to look for the person at the last know address etc.  Then on day 31 it gets very serious.  At day 31 they can; an in my experience as a former army officer, and will be charged with Desertion. It is not automatic; it depends if the army feels the person has no intent to ever return. Minimum jail time now at Ft. Leavenworth, KS last time I checked is 5 years.\n\nYou can research it on the net.  Just Google or use any search engine you like and enter \n- UCMJ Article 85\n\nOK.... if the person in question has received their actual dischage as in Honorable, General, Less than Honorable, Dishonorable or Medical and it is so noted on their DD214.... then they have completed the full service obligaton and only an act of Congress can get them back in....and even then...what are the odds.\n\nFrom your question however it sounds like this isn't the case.\n\nI use to counsel young soldier on being UA and AWOL and had to charge one with desertion...almost 30 years ago.  If you or your friend have any particular questions or just want some feedback...hit my YID and my e-mail is available on my 360 site.\n\nAlso, I am sure other people will have more current information....I'd go with that vs. my historical data!

Honorable discharge.  You have been punished by the NJPs, so they will not be held against you.  Like the man said, if you're not being discharged because of the NJP, then you're G2G.

Your best bet is to call local law enforcement. If he his truly AWOL then he will be picked up and brought to jail. He will wait for extradition to the post to which he is assigned. As far as the abuse I would do the same thing. After the Army gets him they can try him for abuse or let the civilian courts take care of that.\nEither way contact local law enforcement.

the only moves the military pays for are  pcs  permanent change  of  station. and they will move you back to your hometown after   you finish your time. they dont pay when you decide to leave the service member. thats on you to foot the bill not them. the service member isnt moving so they dont care

well.. if you don't care about your benefits, and don't plan on coming back in the military... then no... it simply means that you are unqualified for military service... Now the truth is it is usually associated with some sort of physical or moral disqualification.  \n\nMany employers ask if you've ever served in the military and if so did you receive an Honorable Discharge... a General Discharge is considered the same as a Less Than Honorable discharge. What a future employer may or may not do with this information is up to them I suppose... but that is the only effect that I can see in a RE-4 w/ General Discharge.

This is why gays in the military doesn't work.  A homosexual enlists, gets there, decides it's too hard, and then decides to use the gay card to get out.  You signed a contract and told your country you would serve.  And now you're trying to back out and be a little cry baby.  The fastest way to get your discharge is to serve your time.  Besides, once you get an honorable discharge, you are entitled to all of the veteran benefits.  Until you get that though, us veterans are going to see you like the little whiny girls you are.

You become AWOL and they look for you. Then you face court marshal and dishonorable discharge.  All bad for your record.  It is better to work out the problems with your senior officers.  Worst case is you could serve time in a military jail - not a cool place to be.

When faced with investigation or harassment, some service members are tempted to leave their units without permission. Going AWOL (Absence Without Leave), referred to in the Navy as UA (Unauthorized Absence), is a violation of Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It is a serious matter that nearly always hurts service members more than it helps them.\nService members who go AWOL may face arrest and nearly always face punishment, including restriction, non-judicial punishment (NJP) and even court-martial. Going AWOL may increase a service member’s chance of getting an Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge. It usually makes the discharge process go slower for those who want to get out of the military and can lead to confinement.\n\nService members who go AWOL sometimes miss a movement or deployment. “Missing movement” is a violation of Article 87 of the UCMJ. This is a serious offense that can result in court-martial or increase the chances of an Other Than Honorable discharge based on misconduct.

While in basic training, there are only three general types of discharges he can even be considered for: Punitive (misbehavior), medical, and what are known as Chapter 11 or Entry Level Performance and Conduct (called chapter 11 because it is the guiding regulation AR 635-200, Chapter 11). A punitive discharge he DOES NOT WANT. They usually come officially characterized as Other Than Honorable or Bad Conduct discharges (these are very bad) and those will haunt him on every job application or back ground check he has to process. Medical is possible and are normally officially declared as General or Honorable (these are very good). The drawback there is first he would have to get hurt real bad (don't want that), and 2nd it seems to take forever to actually get a soldier through this process - he won't be home for a long long time while he waits and the medical community evaluates and tests him. The Chapter 11 can only be applied for under 4 specific grounds: inability, lack of reasonable effort, failure to adapt to the military environment, and minor disciplinary infractions. A Chapter 11 is almost always characterized as a General discharge (not good, but not bad either), so it has no severe long term damage. The biggest blow will be a nearly complete loss of all veterans benefits. HOWEVER, it is critical to know that whichever discharge he applies for, the situation involving him is BONA FIDE (real and not made-up). The Army will investigate and his chain of command will be required to write formal memorandums attesting to the facts. Your husband will more than likely also be required to complete a formal Sworn Statement attesting to whatever issue is prohibiting him from service. If he has no ACTUAL issues, and it is proven, he can be prosecuted. On the other hand, if he truly is unable to adapt or incapable of performing the tasks directed, then a discharge based on AR 635-200, Chapter 11 (I copied a link to this regulation below) is what he needs to file. I am going to be brutally honest here, based on the information you provided, were I his Commanding Officer, I do not believe that he has a legitimate discharge application. So for your sake, I am hoping there is information you have not spoken about that does apply to the regulation. I wish you and yours the best - take this decision VERY seriously - its implication has more than just legal issues: how will your friends react? Your Family? The community? Your Church? Think all that through before acting - just a suggestion.

Keep in mind that ROTC is not military, so the Core Values of the Navy are pushed aside when it is convenient.  Since this is the case the UCMJ cannot be used for disciplinary action either.  I suggest that you take this you your commander (NON CADET), but this might only raise more problems.  Being that he is the Cadet XO, this person's conduct should be that of an officer of the Navy.  Again since this is only ROTC, and it is during his time there is probably nothing you can really do except discuss the problem with your commander.

you'll get new uniforms, but you'll have to pay for them... just like you had to pay for your uniforms when you first got your seabag in bootcamp.\nsince you got out, you won't be able to enter as a petty officer.  you'll probably be an e-3.

I had this private years ago who disobeyed a lawful order. I told him 3 times to do someting while we were in a truck. After the 3rd time I told him, he sucker punched me and was flailing me pretty good. I reached up, took the good old angle flashlight off of my LBE(it had one extra ring on it from an old flashlight) and hauled off and smacked that dude into next week with it. He got court marshaled,I got transfered out of that crappy unit that babied him to the point he thought he could get away with such things.He had a blsck eye for 2 months and a bad conduct discharge. THATS the best use of an angleheadflashlight I had.
