if you go AWOL, what exactly do they do?

Yes, they put out an APB. They run your license, haul you in, and you could end up in Leavenworth.\n\nIt isn't worth it.

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.

Good question. I'm not really sure, but theoretically speaking, it all depends on the lengths the officer is willing to go. I used to be in the army, and there was a time I had to commandeer a civilian vehicle. I didnt bother learning what we were allowed to do and not allowed to do, and since it was in a different country, the rules could've been different.

Site you facts Mister.  If you were in the military you know darn well that any american citizen, applying for or holding a job (especially in the government) who is officially listed as AWOL, will be apprehended and held over for an administrative determination under the UCMJ (do you know what that stands for).  \n\nIf pres. Clinton pardoned them, they are no longer AWOL.

They earned their metals so they should be able to wear them in civilian clothes if they want to.  After you leave the service most are not authorized to wear their uniforms so if they wear the metals that they earned with their civilian clothes, then so be it.

An OTH discharge based on an AWOL charge is a federal felony and disqualifies you from citizenship (see the details regarding maintenance requirements of your Green Card - felony is a disqualifier for renewal). Your status was changed with the INS upon final disposition and discharge from the Armed Services. Upon expiration of your current card, you will be required to leave the country. You have two options to avoid becoming declared illegal - option #1 get the OTH upgraded (which is going to be tough if not impossible as your offense occured during a time of war) and the AWOL expunged (can all but guarantee this will NOT happen) or option #2 attempt to obtain new immigrant status under different conditions (such as obtain a work VISA). All of these are outlined in various sections on the USCIS web site, which I have linked below for you. To be brutally honest, the AWOL and OTH is going to count very hard against you and you may have placed yourself in a position that you cannot get out of or find a decent resolution. In short, it would appear that your case and situation is untenable.

I've just come to believe that people are stupid...they think the military is going to give them a job and a paycheck, and that they'll never have to give anything back. \n\nAnd it's not 1 person who went AWOL it's 220 at this point.

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.

Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing - 600 miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows.

AHHHHHH.  Someone asked a question about my job. *L*\n\nI retired from the Army after spending 20 years as an MP.  I never wanted to do anything else.  It's one of the few jobs in the Army that has a peacetime mission.  We enforce the law on base, and take care of our soldiers when they are off base.  In time of war, we have our law enforcement mission as well as providing escort for various convoys and route recons.\n\nA lot of people don't like the MPs, but they are the same folks that don't like civilian cops.
