I was in the dep program with the us army. While in the dep program I decided that joining the army right now was not right for me. I told my recruiter that I didn't want to join, but he told me that the only way out of the dep program was to signs my final contract, swore in BUT do not get on the plane. He told me that I wouldn't be awol but just consider a meps loss. The reasons I believe him, because I felt he was really trying to help me. I was too naive and believe him, I also felt he did this because he was switching his assignment to Germany a few day after i signed my contract, so he wouldn't get into trouble. I was supposed to shipped out on january 4, 2007. After a couple months I figure out what i want to do. I was going to join the national guard, get my associate degree, and try to get in the interservice physician assistant program. But when I try to get into the national guard I found out that I was Awol. Now my question who do i talk to to get help.

I didn't have enough characters left on the last detail. But the national guard recruiter told me he was able to get me a discharge, and when I call meps they told my I was getting discharge from fort jackson. But when I call fort jackson, they told me i was not getting a discharge from them, and I should turn myself into the nearest military base. Which I did, camp pendelton (a marine base, but there a army reserve unit there), and they told me to go to fort irwin. Just to to sure this was correct, I called forst irwin and they told me the discharge are done throught fort sill in oklahoma. At this point I got confused, and call meps again and now I am waiting for them to check on my discharge.
I know this is a strange case but if anybody and point me in the right direction on what I should do is welcome.

You have asked this already and been given hotline numbers and everything else. If none of these things are working contact your congress person.

Do you have anything in writting to this effect? If not, it is really his word against yours. If you signed the contract and then swore in, then you are in regardless of what he said and yes you are AWOL, and what is worse AWOL in a time of war. Meps and recruiters will say what ever they want to to get what they want. You should always get everything in writting!!! Get a lawyer because even though the guy transferred to where ever he is, he still liable for what he said.

hire a lawyer - sue!
these guys aren't used car salesmen, who are allowed to say whatever it takes for them to fill their quotas.
if what you have said is correct, then your contract may not be legally valid.
