Someone said he has 180 from entry. This would not yet be up while he was out on his 10 days after bootcamp. Would he need a lawyer? What would he have to do?

All of these answers are correct. Think about this........ so his character is of one who might even consider going AWOL even in passing and tell his girlfriend about it. To risk jail and a dishonorable/ other than honorable discharge. To risk not getting that great job even 20 years from now. To spend a life of always wondering if just getting a ticket for speeding might end up being the day he gets arrested.
So if he can't do the right thing it says a lot. What if you got married? If he is willing to shoulder all of this what does that say about fufilling family obligations? You going to trust him when it's easier to get a divorce and abandon the kids, which is easier? With you always wondering if today is the day he gets picked up or he avoids taking the great jobs because they might check?
Regardless and no offence I would get a new boyfriend. Even if he goes back with his attitude he's probably going to screw up in the Marines as well. There are plenty of guys out there who are MEN and shoulder their obligations.

don't beleive what people say. it is 180 days from entry or completion of training which ever is sooner and its not like you can just leave. you have to ask for a separation. Give justification for the separation and get it approved before you can get out. Reasons cannot be stuff like. I miss my girlfried or bull like that. Maybe you should tell him to be a man and live up to the commitment her made. I mean hell I spent 10 1/2 years in the military its not that bad and I am still working for the military as a civilian. But remember going AWOL is the just plain stupid. If he wants out do it right through the right channels.

He is UA. That means brig time and a court-martial. The discharge will not be pleasant either. He will be discharged at less than honorary conditions and it will follow him around for the rest of his life. The best thing is for him to go back and then seek a discharge stating all the reasons he wants out. Truthfully, he isn't what the Marines want if he isn't able to face up to the responsibility that he signed up for. He will receive counseling and then the discharge if that is still what he wants.
Personally I would rather he got out than to think that some time in the future he decided that he didn't want to be some where and just took off. It should make you wonder though just what kind of person he really is that he can't stick it out when the end is in sight. Boot camp is hard, but it is easier after that and he should at least attempt to make a go of it.

assuming he's nto a special case, he'd be absent for 24 hours, and then UA for 30 days. After 30 days he would be dropped from the register and a deserter (The Marine Corps has to drop him from the register after 30 days, but that doesn't mean they can't do it before then.) He's finished the hardest part of the Marine Corps; why does he want to back out now?
The 180 days relates to a situation in which the military discharges you. If you desert, all bets are off.

In the very beginning he will be placed on AWOL status for 30 days. after that he is listed as a deserter and placed on a nationwide list that everyone has. If he is pulled over by the police he will be taken in to for being a deserter. If you 2 apply for assistance of any kind it will show up all because of his SSN. He needs to go back and finish it and not have his life followed by a deserter status.

Don't trust "someone said". Once you swear in before you get on the plan to go to boot camp, you are in for the contract time signed. He has to return or face AWOL and maybe even AWOL to avoid hazardous duty (or something like that) and can face court marshall with punishment being from prison time to death. My advice is go back. If he wants out of the Marines, he can try to transfer to another branch or get a lawyer to get out BUT he must resume his duties in the mean time until a decision is agreed upon.

He would be considered awol, (Absent without otherised leave). In order to get out within 180 days you must request it threw your chain of command, it is know as a entry level seperation. If he does this he may face ridicule but nothin punitive for his actions. If he just doesn't return he can face punitive actions as he is still part of the military. He is a Link that may help.

He needs to meet with the Marine Corps and request a general discharge if that is the agreement. (It should be stated in his enlistment contract) If he doesn't apply for or receive a discharge and fails to return he would be considered AWOL and after a certain number of days he could be charged with desertion and could face a lengthy prison sentence in a military stockade. Have him check with the JAG Judge Advocate General on base. A JAG attorney should be able to tell him his legal recourse.

A W O L and on the 31st day, he will be considered a deserter and placed on the FBI
wanted list. He will be Dishonorably Discharged
and could face a big hefty fine of at least $10,000 dollars and will face Military prison time
at hard labor in the brig!!!! He'll need a lawyer
and a good one. He should turn himself in at the
nearest US Military Base!!!

He will be classified as UA. After 30 day he will be concidered a deserter in wich case the FBI will be looking for him.
He needs to man up, go back and deal with the decisions he has made.
