| | | Dereliction of duty
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
What does Dereliction of duty mean? I know what Google says it is but what does it mean in human terms? I was AWOL for for a period of time not to exceed 30 days. I got a voice mail from my CO saying that she wanted to talk to me about my Dereliction of Duty. I'm not sure what she is trying to do. What should I do? |

| | | Dereliction of duty is a specific offense under military law. Basically, it means avoidance of a duty or failure to follow an order from a superior.

| | | So, what does it mean? Is my commander going to discharge me or is this her way of trying to get me to return to the military? |

| | | You are AWOL and your commander wants to know why. Are you really that dense? |

| | | The longer you remain AWOL the worse it is going to get. I recommend you return immediately before you experience regrettable life changing consequences. Nothing is important enough to allow yourself to become subject to the adverse effects that accompany the poor decision you have made. Just my two cents. |
