what is the most likely outcome of bct awol?

The previous responses show a relative lack of ignorance about the military's policies.  Generally the military allows those who go AWOL from BCT to come back with a relatively minimal punishment.  There will of course be punishment however it is not overly harsh (May seem so at the time though).\n\nIf you are chronically AWOL or gone for a substantial amount of time the punishments are different.  Generally they are chaptered (Kicked out) of the army under a policy called failure to adapt.  They are sent to Fort Knox for outprocessing and spend some time there before being sent home.  \n\nI realize that this varies on a case by case basis but my summary is generally accurate.

There's room for anyone in good shape.  I was in recently but was medically discharged before I could go to Iraq unfortunately.\n\nFirst of all, when you talk to the recruiter, ask him about something called the "trail blazer" during basic training.  They change the name occasionally.  It basically involves being able to max out the AIT PT test at day 1.  You want to do that.\n\nSince you're married, you'll probably want to get a non-combat MOS.  (Although I took a combat MOS because I'm married) Try for something along the lines of supply clerk, mechanic, or something of the like.  Don't worry if you aren't trained, they'll teach you everything.  Mortician is a messy and unpleasant job, but if you can handle, it usually has a great signing bonus.  DO NOT GO 88M!  Those are truck drivers.  They have the highest mortality rate in Iraq and they need everyone they can get.  It sound good and easy, but it's not cool.\n\nSigning bonuses are paid after AIT, as much as 6 months later depending on the MOS.  Married people should stay away from counter intelligence since that could keep you away 10 months out of the year, but it's my number one suggestion for single people.\n\nJust so you know, Basic Training is all about messing with your mind.  When you get on base, just turn your personality off for about 3 or 4 months.\n\nInjuries in the Army.  The Army is mean on this one.  If you get injured during anytime you get handed your orders and taken to the airport and the end of AIT, THEY WILL TRY to pass it off as a prior injury, no matter how stupid.  I saw guys getting general discharge on collapsed arches.  Not a pleasant thing, but I did see an honorable on a hernia.\n\nWell, the first few months are hell, after that, it's sweet.  It's good job, you're taken care of, and if you learn well, you have plenty of potential.  If you go to Iraq, you can still get free college there.  And you should take every opportunity for college credits possible.  A degree means eligibility for officer training and a good position in the army.\n\nAnd finally, make sure you fill out the paper work correctly.  Take your time, especially when calculating income.  Being married, I made more than the lieutenant as a PVT.\n\nIt's a good life, but it is the Army and the Army is about war.  For some reason a bunch of kids these days forget that when they sign the papers.  They think about travel and college and easy money and forget that it's about fighting.\n\nWell, I encourage it and wish you luck.

There are multiple graduations at Ft Benning every friday (Basic, Airborne, Ranger, Pathfinder, etc.)  Because of this, there's a mess of hotels around the base.  You might want to look into it and make a reservation for a room and a car.

My friend is in the DEP too, for the Navy though, he was suppose to go Feb. 13, but they told him that they could probably fix it to where he can leave earlier. He's really excited about it. Good Luck.

I really like your attitude.  First of all, you are going to start with a recruiter, re-apply, see a civilian Orthopedic Surgeon, get X-Rays and a letter stating the degree of scoliosis.  This along with the BU MED Standard (get copy from recruiter) attach both \n, along with a request for waver.  Most likely you will be required to re-start boot camp but perhaps they will give you credit for what you have gone thru , but most likely not.  Team building is one of the objectives of boot camp, and you are not a member of that team.  Call the recruiter, get the ball rolling.  Good Luck.

it all depends on the charge and the branch of service, you can have a summary court martial for going UA (unauthorized abscense) to drugs or murder. The time you can serve well 30 yrs to life, it all depends on the charge

after being AWOL for 30 days, an arrest warrant is issued.  This means if you EVER try and get a federal loan, job or even pulled over for running a stop sign, you will be arrested and the military notified that you arte in carcerated(with no chance at bail, BTW).  The Army can then decide to take their sweet time coming to get you.  \n\nyou can get anything from an OTH discharge to time in the stockade to the death penalty.

if hes found he could get in trouble not severe though. i used to work in the brig at camp pendleton and escorted awol detainees.\nit all depends on what he's done with himself since he went ua\nup until the 4th week hes not awol yet. ask yourself these questions 1 how long has he been in service? if less than a year,cannot conform to military lifestyle. my advice is tell him to lay low stay away from any thing to do with trouble, because the way the military works now is that they use your social security number to find you mostly by a police stoppage. about employment employers do not have the clearance to check military records unless its a gov job,local city state or federal.he dosent even have to claim a veteran status.tell him to stay out of trouble and get a job fast,there is a discharge called a good of service discharge,it works like this, if he gets employment to care for family and has not been a slacker ,if found it is possible to get time served and a good of service discharge.if there are family problems that he just had to take care of he could get an admin separation.  bottom line is the longer hes away the better it will be for him if they do find him.

You should have thought about that before going AWOL. Contact the office where you get your green card renewed they should be able to help you.

The odds are, you won't get hit in the stop loss.  But there is a chance.  I've never heard of anyone getting stuck in for more than a year past their EAS--End of Active Service, but I suppose it's theoretically possible to be required to serve the full eight.  They do try to work with people though.  They know that you only expected to serve the original contract and to hold a large number of people in service past that will create a lot of discontent and morale problems, so they try to keep it as short a time as possible.  Right now there is no stop loss in effect and odds are not for one to be started.  The US is trying to reduce the number of troops in war zones, so it is unlikely they will need to force people to stay beyond their original contract.

Crap!  I love these answers.\n\nHe is National Guard.  After AIT, he will return home.  He will be required to do his one weekend a month, and his two weeks a year (normally in the summer).\n\nIF his unit is activated, then he will be required to do the mission.  If the unit is activated to go to Iraq or Afganistan, then that is where he will go.  If his unit is activated to perform a mission for the state, then that is what he will do.\n\nIn any case, he will return home after AIT.  You need to find out from him THEN if his unit is to be activated.

I've been out for 10 years now, but yes, the Army will discharge a person for failing the APFT. Normally, the soldier is put on a remedial fitness program in hopes of helping him to meet the standard. The soldier is usually "flagged" during that time, which means he is ineligible for awards, promotions, etc. If eventually he can pass an APFT, the flag is removed. If after a certain amount of time, the soldier does not improve, he can be discharged.

If you genuinely can't hack the AIT for the MOS you've selected, I believe you get to reclass for something that may be more your speed.  Otherwise, you get recycled to the next Co. coming through.  At least that's what happened in my unit.  I've actually never heard of anyone getting put out of the Army altogether.

i will soon.  my first love, kiss, and everything else.  is in boot camp right now.  then he has eight weeks here.  after that he is getting shipped off to afga.  he found some stat that say he has an 85% chance of dying.  \n\nhe will be a combat engineer for the national guard.

I'd probably either be back in Armor, Infantry (AA) or Maintenance. 17 years of experience would benefit them, but I doubt I'd be taken since I'm a disabled vet.

When faced with investigation or harassment, some service members are tempted to leave their units without permission. Going AWOL (Absence Without Leave), referred to in the Navy as UA (Unauthorized Absence), is a violation of Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It is a serious matter that nearly always hurts service members more than it helps them.\nService members who go AWOL may face arrest and nearly always face punishment, including restriction, non-judicial punishment (NJP) and even court-martial. Going AWOL may increase a service member’s chance of getting an Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge. It usually makes the discharge process go slower for those who want to get out of the military and can lead to confinement.\n\nService members who go AWOL sometimes miss a movement or deployment. “Missing movement” is a violation of Article 87 of the UCMJ. This is a serious offense that can result in court-martial or increase the chances of an Other Than Honorable discharge based on misconduct.
