NG question: Be a man, and not a kid, and call your unit. Do your time like you are supposed to. Take your lumps and move on. This is not an end all to everything. SFC Livingston is spot on. No Commander is going to let you go. You can be dumba$$ and just go about failing everything. But why? Explain why you deserve to be discharged? Explain why you can't fill your obligation? Explain to your next employer why you were a fuktard, and could not show for one weekend a month? Explain to me, your future potential boss, why I should hire you? This will follow you for years to come, so think long and hard about the choice you make today, because it will haunt you for decades.

Quitting is the easiest thing you can do, living with it will be the hardest. Giving up on your commitments is one of the worst things a person can do to their spirit.

SSG Brian MacBain - Well tell his mom to pull his drill weekend. I had to go on a few "hunt you down trips' for slack a$$ Mike Foxtrots who would skip out on drills. Not fun at all, and a waste of time for all parties. One parent, was told that her son was going to jail if he didn't materialize. It helped when we would have off duty LE members who helped with the search.

CW3 Kevin Storm - When I was a police officer, I used to get warrants to go arrest service members who were charged with AWOL. I don't recall a single one of them that wasn't Army, although the vast majority were Army NG. There may have been one or two that was Regular Army.

If you want out...and willingly stated you PLANNED ON NOT GOING......why do you care if you get nailed with AWOL? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I explained the process to you in your last post about this.....before it was removed because you are posting the same questions under two different profiles.....stating you had no intention of going to BTA and that you want out. Now you're worried about what will happen? And you can ask your Commander to discharge you....but chances are they will say no. And, even if they say yes, it can take MONTHS for a Chapter packet to run its course. And guess what, during that Chapter process....you will still be expected to show up to BTA.

IMO, you are a piece of crap. Each unit in the military is a mix of skills and needs as well as talent. Remove a piece and that unit is less effective. IF you want to be a Muslim, go to a Muslim country. But if you want to be an American then finish your duty. You have a chance to be part of a unit or to be a piece of crap. Seems obvious

Regrettably, traditionally, his Commander or Cadre will classify him as *A leadership challenge," rather than a poor choice provided by his Recruiter. Like our Drill Sargeant said: "Blame your recruiter," or "Don't thank me, thank your recruiter."

We used to activate AWOLs in the CAARNG. They did show up for Active Duty orders to Vietnam.
