Your brother is in trouble. He needs to return immediately to complete his out-processing. He is probably not fully discharged yet, despite what he may have been told, otherwise they would have sent him home on orders. He should return to the base today.

With all due respect, your rendition of the "facts" are bizarre, to say the least. No matter what anyone told your brother orally, I very strongly suspect that he is NOT officially discharged. He should turn himself in to the nearest military authority as soon as he can, if not sooner!
