AWOL/Deserters Just got back from Ft. Knox, KY

[cierram]

What is the name of your state? GA

Since IrishGoat put up at post of how it was at Ft. Sill here is my experience at Ft. Knox at anotherPCF.

Get a bus or plane ticket to Louisville, Kentucky and when you get to the airport turn yourself in at Ft. Knox Reception Center. I'm not sure about the bus station. The MP's will come pick you up and it is about a 45 minute ride to the base. They will take you to the MP station and go through all your stuff and pat you down. Then they will take you to the PCF.

Once you get to the PCF which is run by Civilian Prison Guards who are very nice unless you make them mad. They will inprocess you which means explaining why you went awol, if you want a lawyer, and pretty much that is it. They will take everything from you except wedding rings, engagement rings, reading material. They will give you a foot locker with a lock, PTs, you 'll get your BDU's mayber a couple of hours later, and a hygiene bag.

You actually finish inprocessing on Fridays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Talk to JAG, ACAP on Mondays and Thursdays. You get to leave on Tuesdays and Fridays about 11:00 am.

They will give everyone a Chapter 10 discharge unless you want a Chapter 14 or stay in.

If you get wrote up while you are in there they will make you stay an extra 45 days.

Details are easy and you will be glad to take them just so you can go outside and you can't smoke there.

Chow is brought to the PCF and it is at 6:15, 11:20, 4:00. The food is really bad.

When were you there?

[Kellyneedshelp]

Hey, how long where you there for?? You did not say. Just curious my husband is about to go back there in about a week or two. I just got a letter stating he was dropped from the rolls, so he is good to go now. Just trying to prepare for whats to come thanks. Kelly

[IrishGoat]

Why doesn't he go to Ft. Sill? I live closer to Knox, but went to Sill anyway. If he's turning himself in, might as well make it easier on himself.

[matthesl.sandra]

I have been out for over two years and when I was in the army it was only about 180 days, I left AIT, my husband is an MP and is saying I am now a deserter! anyways my question once your absent without leave even from a different post for instince Ft. Lee! do you have to report to Ft. Knox?? and does everyone have to option to report to there duty station??
thanks

[IrishGoat]

You can report to any post you want, they're gonna send you to either Ft Sill, or Ft Knox.

[questionia]

If your husband is an MP isn't he duty bound to arrest you? I would take care of this before it impacts his career.

[matthesl.sandra]

I am, with my personal reason...I worry more about my 7 month old daughter! he cheated on me in Iraq! but thanks for the advice, so I can go right to Ft. Knox? do they transfer my records??

[IrishGoat]

Yes. Go straight to Ft Knox or Ft Sill. If your a smoker go to Ft Sill.

[matthesl.sandra]

ok, thanks! I don't want to have to purchase to tickets if I didn't have too....also do I have to wear my uniform or PT's....or bring them?? thanks again!
