Actually this wasn't me, but a friend of mine had another job, and could not attend the monthly meetings for the reserves, so he just stopped going!! I told him that the results of his actions could not be good, but I am curious what the actual results are! Will he get dishonorably discharged? Or does that only apply to active duty? Is it considered dessertion? I know nothing about the Navy Reserves and how the work, please help?

Can be charged with being UA, AWOL or desertion depending on how long he has been skipping out on his obligation. And i his unit has been moved or assigned to different location...charged with "missing movement". He could get a dishonorable...but first they might just court martial his butt and he could be sentences to brig (jail) time. I would advise your, oops, I mean advise your friend to turn himself in ASAP to mitigate the possible punishment.

I was in the navy reserve and also the national guard. With the guard I volunteered and so I could quit at any time (which I did). With the navy reserve I'm not sure. Best to call and see if he can do some make up drills otherwise he will probablly get a bad discharge. If there is a conflict with his job maybe they will let him out.I guess he already got his honorable discharge from active duty so maybe he doesn't care.

You can be classified as being AWOL or deserter.
He could also be court-martialed and be given a "Dishonorable Discharge" which would result in not being able to use any of his/her benefits. IE VA Hospital, GI Bill
The excuse of having "Another job" is totally unacceptable as he signed a contract with the Navy Reserve when he volunteered.

Unless your unit is getting deployed, he will probably just "U" (unauthorized absence) himself into the IRR...this is a double edged sword. Once he is in the IRR, he could POTENTIALLY be cross-leveled and re-trained in a different MOS that would make him more likely to go to Iraq. If that doesn't happen, he'll just remain in the IRR until the end of his obligation. This happens very frequently. The military does not have the resources to court martial folks that don't like being in the Reserves anymore.
If his unit gets mobilized, however, that's a different story.

Well it all will depend on his superiors, and if his unit is put on active duty. I don't see him getting arrested since he wasn't in active duty and he was probably "written off" his unit long before getting activated; besided if they know his address and haven't send anyone to arrest him by now probably they wont. Now if he ignored and activation call and is in the hidding, then he is in trouble; he can be arrested.
What is for sure is that he can no loger ask for goverment help of any kind, that include collage aid, loans, housing aid, goverment jobs, for example if he try to be a police officer or postal worker he will be rejected; people that do what he did are black listed for life.

After a certain number of unauthorized absences, he will be removed from his drilling status and be placed on IRR, or inactive ready reserve, until his contract expires. If he tries to re-enlist, it's not going to look good, but it's not as serious an offence on the reserve side of the house -- unless, of course, he does it when he's been activated.

If a military reservist did no longer take place for reserve conferences, he ought to get carry of a dishonorable discharge for being AWOL. This befell to John Kerry, who ignored 2 years (ninety six conferences) mutually as he develop into preferable antiwar rallies. 6 years later, Kerry won a pardon from newly elected President Jimmy Carter.

the end result will not be good for him, if he continues missing musters, the folks in the federal prison systems have a real nasty surprise waiting for him. when they say 20 years at hard labor,they aint kidding one bit. when and if he ever gets out, he`ll never get any decent job anywhere after the employer runs a check on him, and they all do after 9/11. tell him to get back asap, and tell them what you told us, if he`s lucky, alll he`ll get is a hard slap on thewrist, and demotion to seaman 1st.

They might court-marshal his behind and give him a dishonorable discharge. He should get an attorney ASAP and be prepared to kiss some major butt.
