what happines if i stay awol past 30 days i am in basic training?

Answer 1

If you are AWOL past 30 days, you are dropped from the rolls of the military. A federal warrant for your arrest will be issued. Any peace officer can arrest you and return you to military custody.

At that point, several options are available to the military. They can discharge you, they can punish you administratively, they can court martial you, and imprison you.

Here is the portion of the Uniform Code of Military Justice that pertains to your situation:

Article 86, UCMJ

Punishment:

(c) For more than 30 days. Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 1 year.

(d) For more than 30 days and terminated by apprehension. Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 18 months.

This will be on your record forever, and will haunt you the rest of your life. Employers are reluctant to hire deserters, since you have demonstrated a propensity to abandon your responsibilities.

Answer 2

I used to artwork AWOL apprehension for the army. that's what they propose by ability of dropped from the rolls. It ability that place of work work has been despatched to the army deserter factor, the place they enter you in NCIC as a federal felon for desertion, meaning in case you roll a end sign or get pulled over for dashing, you bypass suited to reformatory till the army can %. you up and cope with you. So, it could behoove you to return only before the thirtieth day, via fact criminal will determine you are not getting a central authority interest or any interest the place a historical past study is needed, and you would be required to study the container "sure" while asked in case you have been ever charged with a criminal. i could care much less the two way, i hate AWOL's, and that i do no longer care approximately why you left, i'm only providing you with the information. turn your self into the closest energetic accountability installation right this moment. in case you do no longer, no sweat off my brow, yet you would be sorry finally.

Answer 3

Over 30 days AWOL, you are considered a deserter. And you are dropped from the roles of your unit. You also have a standing arrest warrant hanging over your head if you show up anywhere in civilian life. Go back. Face the music. Move on.

Answer 4

what a damn shame. u ran away from basic and were only in the military for a matter of weeks and you're going to live the rest of your life with a dishonorable discharge. How in the world did you get past the gate? If you wanted out that bad, in basic training there are ways to get out...it's called failure to adapt....no dishonorable, no record of military service what so ever. U definetely did the wrong thing. may as well try to make it right somehow. Call the legal advocate at the base you ran away from and ask them what they think...they are on your side.

Answer 5

According to the Manual for Courts Martial of the Judge Advocate General of the United States of America, you will be re-classified as a deserter on your 31st day of being AWOL (referred to as "UA" in the Navy).

First, the military checks (stops) your pay. Second, your social security number is then placed into the NCIC (National Crimes Information Center) computer for local, State and Federal law enforcement agencies. Then, when you run a stop sign, get a parking ticket, get cited for jaywalking, anything for the police to take even the slightest interest in you, your social is tagged "Military Deserter - Apprehend at Once". Third, you are arrested and transferred to the nearest Provost Marshall (for the Army and Air Force) or NACU (Navy Absentee Collection Unit). Fourth, since you are only in basic training, you are placed into the Brig (Stockade for you Army and Air Force types) while they process your Other than Honorable (or even possibly Dishonorable) discharge. If you had been in the military on active duty for longer then 180 days (6 months), it is possible that you could be Court Martialled for Desertion during time of war, ...which carries a maximum sentence of death.

The military is not playing games with you. You went to them and asked them to serve your country, then (if you went AWOL or UA) you changed your mind. This isn't your High School football team where you can quit any time you feel like it with no serious repercussions. This is going to affect you for the rest of your natural life. Even if you turn yourself in NOW, you're looking at the business end of 3 to 5 days incarceration in one of the military's finest penal facilities while they process your paperwork and (at BEST) an Other than Honorable Discharge (you MIGHT get lucky and get a general discharge since you're only in basic training).

My advice: get yourself to the nearest military installation (doesn't matter what branch, Army, Navy Air Force or Marines) or police station and tell them you are AWOL from basic training. The moment you do that your AWOL time STOPS since you are returning to military custody. It also looks better that you turned yourself in. For the military to prove desertion, they have to prove you intended to remain away from your unit. If you volunatrily return, most likely you'll be charged with Unathorized Absence and processed for seperation.

I was a Military Police Watch Commander for the better part of 5 years and I can tell you there is NEVER an acceptable excuse for going AWOL. the military takes a very dim view of it for obvious reasons; because it underminds the authority of the military over its members and causes a breakdown in good order and discipline. If everyone in the military were allowed to leave whenever it suited them, we'd have no military.

Answer 6

depending on the branch usually its an added 45 days to your service....go back and make it right even if it means you want to quit, you can...www.girights.com....but also basic is the worst time of it, the next phase is advanced training it gets easier and you get more privileges then after advanced you really start your own life, like a 8-5 job whatever your mos is. hang in there if you can, perseverance is the key it will make you a better person to see this through.

Answer 7

What exactly did you think you were getting into, a cake job with free education???

The best they could do for you is a Dishonorable discharge & a possible stay in the "brigg" .....We dont want "wusses" in our Military!!

It follows you for the rest of your life, and you'll be lucky to get a job at Walmart!!

Answer 8

If it is over 30 days I believe they send you to a special camp. As in Military Prison.

Answer 9

You are an official deserter now. They will probably go easy & give you a dishonorable discharge. You should have thought this out more before you joined, it is no picnic for real patriots only.

Answer 10

When they catch up to you, you will go top the Brigg, and then they will kick you out. Then all your troubles will start. It will be heard to get a job, and just think of what your family will think and say. Hang in there and you will make it, and you will be proud of yourself.
