Have him turn himself in. They'll likely give him a Chapter 10, under other than honorable discharge.

After 30 days, AWOL becomes more serious than before 30 days. Something to do with the military basically dropping you.

If he even gets stopped for a traffic ticket he will be arrested and turned over. Hate to say this, I fully understand his circumstances.

Him turning himself in (which is the best thing to do period) will result in arrest immediately. He will probably be taken to Oklahoma, held and dishonorably discharged. The first 30 days is almost a grace period to return, take punishment and continue on in military service. He can also face actual jail time too.

The best thing to do is either find a Military Installation and turn himself in, or get an attorney that can practice military law and then turn himself in.

Not confronting this is the worst thing possible for him... I know this all too well as I have experienced the similar thing.

Good luck and I hope he comes through all of this ok.

Then get him back home immediately (or as soon as possible) and into counseling.

He's lucky to find out he married a whore now rather than later.
