UA from the Marine Core for 7 months

What is the name of your state? Ohio
My husband is in the marines, he graduated bootcamp and went to SOI (school of infentry) in NC and he was only there for a month and he went UA. He stayed out for 30 days then turned himself in. They told him he was going to be put back into training, so 6 hours later after he arrived to turn himself in, he went UA again for the 2nd time. He has currently been UA for 7 months now and he is turning himself in sometime this week to Quantico, VA. He was only in the Marine Core for 4 months, and he just wasnt adapting. I was wondering what would happen to him? Would you think they would put him back into training, or just discharge him? If they would discharge him, how long do you think he would be in the brig for? Also, would he be able to keep his cell phone or would they take it away? Please respond to this as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!

OK I am going to respond, even though I know I shouldn't.

The current Marine CORPS policy is to return the said named UA Marine to his/her unit where he/she went UA from. Then there unit's leadership will decide what is going to happen to the said named Marine.

A number of things could happen. He could be chapter 10 with a discharge in lieu of trial by court-martial and sent home with a other than honorable discharge. He could be court-martialed and sentenced to 6 months in the brig and sent home with a bad conduct discharge. He could be recomended for a entry level seperation (doubtful though) and sent home humiliated.

What a lot of people don't understand (which is why I am responding to this thread) is that the Marine Corps doesn't handle these things in a stream lined process like other services. They handle each case on a individual basis. So noone can really tell you for sure what will happen. It is up to the unit's leadership to handle it. The Marine Corps trains officers and NCOs to handle thing themselves, and make decisions without following a cookie cutter plan.

As far as the cell phone goes. I say go ahead and bring it, but he might lose it. I suggest going with a cheap one.

Oh and plan on him being there a while. It takes time to decide a person's fate. It is not a decision that is done overnight. When they screw him they will want to do it right so there is no way to get there decision reversed later on.

Good luck you're gonna need it.

With any luck, he'll be hung by the neck until dead. Justice for cowards.

Wow!!! The Marine Corps's job is to protect the weak. We can't all be strong. Your philosophy seems like, ok you're weak so we'll just kill you instead of protecting you. That's not what the Corps is about. I think.

Everyone with a brain knows that executing Eddie Slovak back during WW2 was wrong.

I am not crazy about all these guys that go over the hill, but I don't think executing and humiliating them is the answer. The answer to the problem lies elsewhere.

Way to show some compassion there bro. Can't you see that this military wife is deeply concerned about her husband? Man, you are one class act, NOT!
