Getting out of deployment?


Question Posted Monday July 19 2010, 8:55 pm

Hello im 19/f and my husband is in the national guards. He volunteered to go to Afghanistan for 10 months which he is now realizing is a stupid idea no matter how much they're going to pay him. Is there any way he can get out of it without getting a dishonorable discharge from the army? Any suggestions on what he can/should do? Thanks everyone

Ashley

Probably not. He's already in and his verbal agreement is enough that he's essentially been "ordered" there now.

I'm not kidding when I say he'll be leaving the country one way or another. If he agreed to go, he's not going to be allowed to back out as hard as they're trying to get anyone over there. If he goes AWOL there are serious criminal consequences, if he disobeys orders he will end up dishonorably discharged, doubly so because he volunteered. That part means any military court would come down on him like the wrath of God.

They offer good pay to get people to make the exact decision he just made. Throw enough money at a bad idea and it can look like a good one for people who need a little more income.

He should talk to any superiors he has that he has any trust in. Any friends. He can obviously request to go back on the volunteer thing, but more than likely they're going to say no. The best shot he'd have is being buddy buddy with a superior officer who could help him get out of it somehow. The Armed Forces runs on Taxes, MRE's, and ass kissing. There are many questions which can be answered with "how well do your superiors like you". I don't know the system enough to say whether he can or will find some help there, but it's worth a shot at least.

But be prepared, there might well be nothing that can be done. I'd not be surprised if they made it that way, for exactly this reason.
