Re: Military/AWOL
It will depend upon your commander. Commanders typically address this scenario with an Article 15 (non-judicial punishment). Whether the reason(s) for your late return are justified depends upon the circumstances. Note, too, that subsequent misconduct, if any, could put you in a position to have a chapter action initiated.
