I need help! please read this and tell me if this is likely (that this really happened to him)
my sisters boyfriend was supposed to go to basic today.. He was dropped off at a hotel the national guard had him staying at. Hes been calling my dads house from 2am to 8am. we havent heard from him in 5 hours.. were really worried... anyway, He told my dad this is what happened:
They had a curfew of 10pm. at 1am (i think) he walked outside to smoke a cigarette. the hotel person told him he had to leave for breaking curfew. He left. Now hes in Downtown Shreveport (louisiana) somewhere and were really worried. What i want to know right now is : Is it likely that hes telling the truth about being made to leave? And is it considered going 'AWAL' or whatever its called? please help

he was calling from 2-3 am to 8 am and was asking my dad to come get him. my dad kept telling him to wait(thats why he was calling)
also, the recruiter guy (HE said) told the hotel staff not to let them break curfew. Maybe the woman got confused? anyway.. he said he went back to the room, got his stuff and left.. but i didnt here this from him directly.. i heard it from my brother, so.. thats why i want to know if it sounds right.. coz.. my brother mixes up facts some times

No, that doesn't sound plausible at all. And no it's not considered AWOL. At the time in question he was still a civilian, and would not officially in the militiary until he takes his final swearing in oath prior to him leaving.
There are several things in you post that seem odd. As I mentioned it seems unlikely that the hotel would ask him to leave. Secondly, why didn't he go back to the hotel when he was supposed to leave, did he call his recruiter? If not, why not?
You also said he's been calling your dad from 5AM to 8AM, I get the impression he's calling to find out if anybody is looking for him. He probably doesn't want to give his location, because he's afraid your dad might give away his location and turn him in.
There is a very slight chance (slight being the key word) that your brother is telling the truth. However, I would bet almost anything your brother had second thoughts about joining and disappeared. Hope all works out for him.

Sounds like BS since the hotel guy should not give a damn about a person whose room is paid for and who isn't really doing much. Sounds like the kid freaked about boot camp and made up a stupid story he thought people would believe, but won't. He's not AWOL because he still wasn't enlisted in anything. He did blow his military future for a miniumum of 6 months or forever. I don't know too many Commanding Officers of a MEPS that would be too willing to sign a waiver for a kid that bailed the night before boot camp. I do hope he's ok, but if he did do something on purpose he needs some serious growing up time.

well i can tell you from experience the night before i left for basic i stayed at the hotel we were up all night. and in eachothers rooms ordering pizza and watching movies and goofing off and all we were told to do is go back to our rooms.
it is very unlikely and you are not cincidered awol until after u make it to basic and the last of the paperwork is done and that final oath u take..

there is not any longer lots you're able to do, different than proceed to speak with him the way you already are. I went by this while my brother became sent to concern-loose training for the army. Time to time, he might deliver us letters saying how lots he ignored us and how he can no longer wait to be certain us returned. no longer too long after, we had the privlage to be certain him graduate concern-loose training in Missouri, spending a marvelous quantity of time with him, catching up on ignored circumstances. i'm hoping you have a stress-loose time with all of this and you will get by it.

He needs to contact his recruiter or chaperone through the National Guard to explain.
