AWOL - How to Face the Music?
ok so my question would be why didn't you go to the unit you thought you were in and report in?? Now this is what you need to do. If you know what reserve/guard unit you are in just go to them, they have full time people there and explain the situation the the personal sgt or training NCO. They usually work from like 8-5 mon-fri... Usually what happens is when you complete basic and ait you report to your unit like within 30 days to let them know you are home and when the next drill is.. If for some reason you went to drill with another unit not sure why? I am just retired after 25years AGR/Army Senior PER SGT and we just don't discharge someone that easy for not coming to drill. Letters have to be sent out, like 3 or 4 if not more and then a letter from the CO saying your are being discharged. Most CO's in the reserves will work with you, obviously your recruiter is a dumb-*** and didn't take care of you.. SO what you need to do it look at your contract see what unit you really belong too and go seek them out like today this week and tell them the situation. If they are deployed there will be someone in the building that you can talk too or report too. If they are deployed they is always a rear detachment always... Now about the job situation, when you go back to drill you should go to college with the GI Bill, go on usajobs, craigslist or walk around your neighborhood and try and get a job. Ask your parents for help. Don't let some little dumb-*** girl ruin your life, move on SOLDIER.. Start your life.. Email me if you need anything else or if you can't find the answers your are looking for.. Oh if they discharge you they just discharge you under other than honorable in the reserver's no jail time. Basically it's called failure to show for drill after AIT. You will loose all benefits.. GO TO THE UNIT and talk to someone in person, if you get no justice ask for the 1SG's number or email.. If you tell your story nicely they will work with you.
