Going U.A in the Marine Corps.?
Answer:
As a former soldier and disabled combat vet, I hope you are ready to face the consequences of your actions. You could have easily done the right thing and had a talk with your CO/1SG/CSM about this whole situation. With the medical documentation that you have, there would have been no issue. I doubt you would have gotten a discharge, but perhaps a compassionate reassignment to a location closer to home? You wife could have been put in the EFMP program as well.
You decided to go AWOL (or UA as you put it) and are now facing desertion charges. Are you willing to go to jail, have your wife put in a mental health facility, and your children taken away from you because you're not prepared to do the right thing? Or are you just trying to find a way out of the Corps?
*edit* Oh, Anthony: this has nothing to do with a lawyer. He hasn't been charged with anything yet. A lawyer can't help him. He took an oath, signed a contract with the United States of America. When he is charged with desertion and is going to stand trial, THEN he needs a lawyer.
It's SIMPLE: Talk to you CO and explain the situation. Or park your kid with your partents, wife in the hospital, and go to MCT where you are supposed to be.
you are just another AMERICAN MACHO MAN trying to get out of an obligation. There are such things as an hardship discharge. Going AWOL will just make matters worse, specially in a time of war. DEATH could be your sentence. IS THERE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT THAT WOULD LIKE TO TAKE HIS PLACE?????
#1 Consult with a Lawyer ASAP
Your going to Lebanworth Kansas and not with a trial either.....be Military Hearing you gonna get at least 2 yrs....you stupid should went to your commander and asked for time
Dude, why did you join with a nut for a boss. all you can do is report back and hope a marine with honor will hear your plight. there are still some left.
the only way military can actually do something to you and find you is if you attempt to get on a military base after you are considered awol. thats it.
Nekkra's answer is spot on. So if you mess up not only will there be one unfit parent but two in the eyes of CPS. How are you going to help your child then?
Say this all gets worse and worse, she flips out and you break up and you need to get full custody in order to place your daughter with parents or grandparents. Or she gets better and wants custody? She can blame her deal on mental health while you will still be someone who willfully didn't go through channels to resolve the issues. I say this because one must always consider worse case scenarios.
Ok, say you get even an other than honorable discharge. For one you will never get a job working on airplanes or any other decent job...... forever. You won't be able to be there for your family then.
Get off answers now and call whoever you need to call. Then go talk to someone with any documentation you have and contact numbers for people they can call to verify all of this. If it checks out there are many things the military can do to help if you want them to. You as a man and a father have no other choice but to do this NOW...... not later when things will only get worse.
