I was just wondering, can he still vote, what benefits does he lose ? Is it a felony when you you are a no show for weekend reserves?

Good luck getting a job,other than flipping burgers, or day laborer.
Any preference he might have had for a state or federal job is gone-he'll never be hired for one.
He loses all education benefits
He loses any VA health benefits/disability compensation he may have accrued.
He loses the respect of his bro's, and all other former marines (and other service members). If you think that doesn't matter, check again about jobs. A potential supervisor who's former military ain't gonna hire him, even if he's the best qualified.
Dunno about drill weekends, but for the active duty, it's "unauthorized absence" for up to 30 days. After that it's desertion, and THAT is a felony. Deserters are always pursued.

Generally, you will lose all of the benefits you accrued in the military, including the GI Bill.
You can only receive a Dishonorable discharge through a general court martial. You will receive a re-enlistment code of RE-4, meaning you will not be able to re-enlist, ever. You can kiss pretty much any federal job good bye as well as all law enforcement positions as well.
Private Companies will not like to see this either. Basically, you would be setting yourself up for a very tough life. I don't beleive you lose the right to vote. I know most states will not let you purchase a firearm. Some states will not allow you to purchase property, or own a legitimate business.
Basically, it is bad, don't go down that road. Do your time and finish it out.
It's not a felony in the civilian sense of the word. You would be considered UA(unauthorized absence). Generally this is handled through the command and Article 15, Non Judicial Punishment.

often, you will lose all the advantages you accumulated in the militia, alongside with the GI bill. you may only get carry of a Dishonorable discharge via a typical courtroom martial. you will get carry of a re-enlistment code of RE-4, meaning you will no longer have the flexibility to re-enlist, ever. you may kiss quite a lot any federal interest stable bye as nicely as all regulation enforcement positions as nicely. inner maximum companies won't want to establish this the two. basically, you would be placing your self up for a very hard existence. i do no longer beleive you lose the wonderful to vote. i understand maximum states won't assist you purchase a firearm. some states won't help you purchase assets, or very own a valid employer. basically, that's undesirable, do no longer bypass down that street. Do some time and end it out. that's not a criminal in the civilian experience of the word. you would be seen UA(unauthorized absence). often that's dealt with in the direction of the command and Article 15, Non Judicial Punishment.

You can still vote because you're still an American. A dishonorable discharge follows you around your whole life as a code which can be identified by law enforcement and the VA. I'm not sure if any background checks or inquiries from a company thinking about hiring you can see it but they might. I know unemployment can. You should ask the VA if your entitled to any benefits-I not sure but I don't think so.

Don't know whether the person can vote or not,
but the person will lose all benefits, including
VA and the person cannot get a job with the
Government and employers will not hire you.
This person is up the creek without a paddle!!

all military VA benefits are forfeited, could cause hardship getting a job in civilian life
Your stepson should have made his meetings. What has the reserves said they are wanting to do as far as discharge?

No wonder he was discharged. It goees on his record an when applying for jobs, employers such as myself look at that. Wouold you hire him? Not me! He loses everything, and should have thought about that before hand. It's going to be tough. If he is your b/f run!

Dishonorable = no benefits at all, don't even think about applying for a lot of federal and other jobs. You can always be a DNC hack posting their lies to Y!A.

Any conviction by a military court (court martial) is considered to be a federal felony conviction, NJP is not.
