My friend made it through basic and AIT but then before he was transferred to his unit he went to his commanding officers and told them about his gambling problems and how he needed to get help right away.. They didnt do anything at first so his family contacted red cross and the red cross contacted the military and he got a 10 day leave before going to his unit... He never made it back to the army. He was been gone for two years and he went to GA for his gambling help and he searched for god and found help there... It has been 2 years AWOL and he has gotten pulled over by the cops once for a speeding ticket and went to court... He has a good job where they run a background check on him... Hes bought a house and a new car... All of this while he was AWOL... And now that hes gotten the help he has saved up money for his family while hes gone he wants to know what happens now with the AWOL and why they havent hunted him down or arrested him when he was pulled over or bought a house????

to go AWOL during war time is considered desertion and can be punishable by death. So the question is did he go AWOL or is he a deserter? How long ago did he do this and was the war in Iraq going on ( by witch I meen had the cease fire been declared and the war officially over when he did this). He could still be declared a deserter now due to the police actions and remaining conflict we are having over there and we are still at war with terrorism. I strongly believe that he should turn himself in rather than be turned in. If he turns himself in it would look better on him. I find it hard to believe that he got pulled over and ticketed and nothing came of it without the military stepping in or something coming up about it.

I have seen you ask this question several times...
-As an MP in the Guard, I say YES, turn him in.
Out of curiosity, are you doing this to settle a personal score?
Do you know for sure he is at AWOL status?
Was he issued a DD214 where he was discharged under "other than honorable" cirumstances? (You seem to be way up in his business, maybe you can answer that...)
The Military does that to people they don't want anymore.

It seems to me if he was pulled over by the police and he used his real name and wasn't arrested for being AWOL, then he probably isn't. It doesn't appear as if the military is looking for him. Notify the military and let them do what they do. You sound as if your jealous of this guy.

You have asked the same question every day. It is either yes or no. You get both answers and keep asking the same question. So I will go with maybe. Hope this helps.

Actually the AWOL term is still used and yes you should turn him in.

Everything he had done means NOTHING if he doesn't turn himself in. How can he live with himself? Does he s hit himself every time he sees a patrol car? If he doesn't turn himself in, you turn him, in my humble but truthful opinion, he needs to get what he had coming. He made his bed, now he has to lay in it. How can he even look at his family and himself? Doesn't he have a shred of shame in his body?

AWOL isn't used any more. It's old school. Now the term is UA, unauthorized absence.
