Re: Awol for 2 month

Dear Questioner:

The short answer is...it depends. It depends on whether the Navy is going to merely keep him in there to finish processing the paperwork, or if they will prefer and refer court-martial charges against him for the AWOL plus whatever else he was being discharged for (assuming he wasn't already court-martialed for those earlier offenses (if they were indeed offenses and he wasn't being discharged for other reasons such as medical)).

Feel free to review my website at www.courtmartialbrand.com and e-mail me any other information you may know at [email protected].

Sincerely Yours,
