i heard that some guys who are in the military and are court ordered to take a paternity test, and the court sends the test kit to the guy's commanding officer, have someone else take the test for them to avoid getting discharged because the girl was a minor. so i was wondering if anyone out there has done this or knows someone who has. as they say, curiosity kills the cat lol.

i'm not picking on soldiers, i have total respect and support for our soldiers, i am just asking a harmless question, and this is something that was said to happen to someone 7 years ago, and i was just wondering if it ever happens to see if there could be truth to the story, but hey thanks for judging me!

ok, the courts did address the soldier directly, he was served court papers and everything, then the court decided to send a test kit out to where he was stationed, and thats where the test was taken.

the military cannot, does not, and will not get involved with a civil matter. paternity is a civil matter.
IF Paternity is established and court order is established to pay child support, then and only then will the military get involved, but only if the servicemember does not follow through on the court ordered support and it is brough to the courts attention that he has not paid. Only then can the military approve garnishment of pay.

This story sounds absolutely untue. First of all, a civilian court cannot tell the commanding officer to have the test administered, courts would address the soldier directly. Second, soldiers get blood drawn regularly as part of their readiness, so it would be easy to see if the test was the soldier's blood or someone elses. Last, no army doctor in the right mind would risk their own career to help someone avoid child care payments. What you hear was a myth.

Your question was lame the first time... if the CO gets the kit, he will ensure the test is taken in an ethical manner while some one is observing. Sounds to me like you are looking to get someone in trouble... don't pick on a soldier...they are doing something w/their lives and for their country...

while you're married to one yet another and the youngster is of that union then no, a paternity attempt isn't required to have the youngster indexed as a based. it is needed if a million) the protection stress Member is single and has a newborn by using a courting then attempting to declare the youngster as a based. or 2) the protection stress Member is Married however the youngster is born by using a courting with yet another woman and he's making an attempt to have the youngster indexed as his based.

a military hospital will conduct the testing based off the health care system the military uses, unless he is on tricare prime remote...
