You're not awol, anymore. Technically, you're a deserter. Check out the Manual for Courts-Martial for maximum punishment and what-not.

It's possible you can go to jail, but even worse you still owe the 8 year obligation. You should be placed on active duty to serve
out your time, probably you will just serve 4 or 5 years and get a bad discharge. Get a civilian lawyer that specializes in military law.
good luck
P.S. If you leave for greater than 1 month it makes you a deserter

I belive it depends on which branch you were in ! if it is the USN or USAF you should be discharged if you had good reason . if it is the US army or marines you will probaly spend the remainder of you service time in the brigg

Since we were not at war 6 years ago, it might not be very long. If they can show that you did it to get out of battle or hazardous duty, then they can tack on years. So it's going to depend on what they can pin on you. Check out this article http://law.bepress.com/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5724&context=expresso
