What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I've been awol for 3 months now. I called my squad leader asking about the consequences ahead of me once I turned my self in and I was told I'd goto jail for 6 months+ and get chaptered out. He also said I was officially out processed from the army (dropped from the rolls) and I no longer receive army pay. I am pretty confident my unit has me reported as AWOL but I know there's no way to be 100% sure.
My unit is in ft. stewart, ga (3rd ID).. i'm an 11b infantryman. I just got back from a 15 month deployment from Iraq in late 2008. Because of extenuating circumstances I decided to leave ft. stewart for good, the reason isn't important. I wouldn't even consider turning my self in right now but I'm going to be a father soon and don't want to end up in jail and miss the most important part of my life. I need to get the hell out of the army.
I read almost every post about people going Awol on here and also heard alot about turning themselve in at ft. sill or ft. knox. I just want to know if I have a chance to get a chapter 10 if i turn my self in at ft. knox. Should I wait a little longer to increase my chances of getting out at knox or what? I think the army wont want to even pay to send me back to Georgia from knox but who knows.
Any information would be extremely helpful as I'm going through an incredibly difficult time in my life right now. I don't need criticism and hate posts, i served my country and want out.. i just need help.
Thank you!
