My husband is charged will Military Desertion he left out thee 6th week of basic training, what will they do.?

Question

Also a lot of medical stuff happened with me, and I had a very serious problem, in which I have medical doumentation for. I was wondering what there going to do? Give him a day one restart or put him brigg

It could have been life threating...and he wants to restart, how many people really desert in basic training do you know how many people they would have in prison...He was in basic training they dont let you leave for anything..Its not that he was afraid to go to War..the army screwed all his papers up, childsupport everything, i mean to a recruiter yout just another number, they dont care they just want you shipped off.

Answer 1

This depends on his chain of command. He can be charge with desertion and court martial or just an Article 15 for AWOL. This depends on the cricumstance. If he does not turn himself in, this will make it worse.

Answer 2

All branches of the Armed Forces have a clause to allow men or women to return to their families on an emergency leave. They do this for funerals and for dire emergencies which require the attention of the enlisted person. From the sounds of your question he did not pursue this option therefore he will have to answer to the consequences of his actions. There will be a hearing with his CO. Then he will have the opportunity to meet with a JAG. When he meets with the JAG then he should present all relevent information as to why he was not present during the times in question. When I say all information that includes your medical reports. I hate to be the bearer of bad news here but if your medical condition was not a life threatening emergency then the chances of your husband being excused for his 'lost' time are quite slim.

Answer 3

He desires to bypass back or bypass to the recruiting place of work he enlisted in. they'll deliver him back and that they'll see if he's salvagable. If no longer he will in all possibility only get Early Separation and by no potential be allowed back into any branch of the protection tension. relies upon on the release code he's given. via fact he's faraway from bootcamp (do no longer understand the way it somewhat is a threat) the penalty would be much less yet he will nonetheless face some punishment. relies upon on how long he has been long previous yet being in bootcamp isn'y thoroughly like being interior the lively accountability.

Answer 4

his FIRST Mistake was in leaving in the first place. he should NEVER have done so, no matter what the reasons were.

Did he go to his superiors and explain the situation, or did he just cut and run? and even if they had told him no, he couldn't leave, then he SHOULD HAVE STAYED.

He disobeyed an order. Doesn't matter how badly he wants back in, since he has proven himself incapable of doing what he is told, they will be less willing to offer him a second chance.

Did you just tell him there were issues and he left, or did you follow procedure, first by contacting the recruiter and then the Red Cross?

Answer 5

Unless he doesnt plan on going back then they will do something but, as far as if was for a family problem and he is going to go back in the probably wont do anything except make him start basic training all over again. Seeing as it was a medical emergency in the family and if he does plan on staying out they may or may not give him a dishonorable discharge. I dont think it is classified as going awol seeing as how he left for a family emergency. my husband is in the army and he has explained alot of things to me. also my father in law went awol and they didnt do anything to him because he had problems recovering from being in the war. as far as they saw it i guess his mind wasnt well enough to be in anymore. i dont think they throw people in stockades anymore especially since your husband left for a good reason.

Answer 6

eventually he will be tracked down. There is no statute of limitations on desertion. So it is a matter of time. The best thing he can do is report to the nearest military base and turn himself in. Hiding from the law does neither one of you any good.

Answer 7

Unless he has a very good REASON -not excuse--for going AWOL--he's going to the stockades! Sorry.

If I were you, I would take my medical documentation and go to his CO and see if you can appeal on his behalf. Or if you don't want to do that, be prepared to go and testify at his court martial hearing. He should have JAG representing him already? Does he? You don't provide very much intell...? so it's difficult to answer totally here.

Answer 8

If he was truthful in his enlistment and he just left, they may let him back and start over. (I personally would not). Depends upon if they think he is worth keeping or not.

If they think he is not worth keeping, they will not put him in the brig but may hand him a dishonorable discharge.

Answer 9

Go find a support organizations, like Veterans Against the Iraq War....Find as many groups as possible and be very persistent when you contact them. They're busy, but they can advise him on dishonorably discharged if the reason is good enough.

This military is nasty business for young people of the US. Struggle as best as you can with regular jobs until you get on your feet...It's not an easy ride. Compromise with your husband during these stressful times...stay as hopeful as you can and thank your lucky stars that your husband was enlightened enough to leave. Now make it legal. Get going.

Answer 10

You have better hope that the military will be reasonable with your situation, but I am afraid your husband will be spending time in the stockade. Sorry.
