Re: awol want to go back

The question implies your friend is AWOL or in deserter status. It may be helpful for him to contact an attorney before turning himself in. If he wanted to turn himself in without counsel, he can do so by going to any Army post and notifying them of his status--but I think it's better to have counsel first. He should be aware of the penalties for desertion under Article 85 and desertion under Article 86 of the UCMJ.

He may feel free to call me at 512-259-7324. 646-209-8213, e-mail me at [email protected], or visit my website at www.courtmartialbrand.com.
