Question about the Army Reserve?

Question

a friend of mine joined the Army Reserve back in 2001, it was a 6 year contract. in 2004 he went AWOL and moved to a different state (from Seattle to NYC), after a few months the Army sent a letter to his old address saying he must contact them. they also went to his last known employer asking for him. he doesn't seem to care much and laughs it off. is he in any real trouble? what could they do if they ever found him?

Answer 1

I so agree with the "irish lover"

In the reserve you can even skip weekends and they dont really come after you sometimes. Its like free money every month. He is an idiot!!!!

I hope he enjoys Ft. Levin worth. I hope he has a good job, cause he cant get credit any where an no one will think about hiring him either!

Answer 2

levin worth, could go to jail, he will go to, if not deploy him first then jail him

Answer 3

Are you kidding? It's the Reserves, I'm in the Reserves and it's a cake-walk. Who goes AWOL when all you do is go to drill one weekend a month and 2 weeks in the summer. What a pathetic idiot. When he gets caught (and he will) its off to Ft. Leavenworth with him. Jail time.

Answer 4

your friend is a FOOL, the government hammer will come down on him shortly and very hard...what a bad decision...

Answer 5

Send him to jail for being an idiot and a coward.

Answer 6

You are actually wrong. His contract was for 8 years, not 6. For 6 years he must drill with his unit, for the remaining 2 years, he doesn't have to drill must can still be called up for deployment. He had better review his contract. What he is doing right now is called being AWOL. He will be jailed if he's being called for deployment and doesn't report for duty.
