Just turned myself in.

[mom_of3]

My son was pulled over for speeding Monday night. Marines now have him. He was UA for 6 months from CP SOI. Any way to find out where they are taking him and what to expect in the coming days.

First you can create your own new post thread instead of intruding upon thread!

I was hoping the next time Bison is on here that he might respond, he seems to be very willing to help and a source of information right now. I wasn't trying to intrude, I am sure he doesn't have the time to search through a bunch of posts for my question for him. So I posted it as a reply to his.

Hello momof3, would your son's last name happen to start with a C? lol He told me you'd make him read my post while he was UA. (I'm going to feel stupid if you're the wrong mom.)

Your son is currently awaiting to be NJP'd, which should happen early next week. He will get 45 days of restriction, and serve about 25-30 days of it before getting his seperations packet. It's funny because he told me he was reading on freeadvice about turning yourself in and stuff, and I was like hey thats me, haha.

To the Marine that popped and didn't get court martialed or whatever, thats your unit. This is Casual Platoon, and this is how they do things. What I'm telling you is basically guaranteed. It's case by case but it follows the same path, the whole "case by case" thing just basically means how far you went in the Marine Corps.

Hell, we have a couple of Marines here that were discharged honorably already but got pulled over with a warrant for dessertion, most likely because some LCpl messed up his paperwork somewhere.

We get new casuals almost daily. I do all the checking in, so if you're a concerned mother or something feel free to PM me. I'll just about be the first person your son/daughter meets upon arriving here, I'm kind of in charge of things since I've been here so long.

To the how long you have to be UA before going to Quantico - 180 days if the safe point. There's been less than that. 4 months here, 3 months here, you know. We had 2 from the same unit turn theirself in here a week and a half after they left, they kept them here for a few days then just sent them back to Lejeune.

As for my personal case, it seems like they'll be sending me to a new grunt unit. Nothing wrong with that. As long as I don't have to go back to my old one

Any questions I'm open for them.

Little update on my situation,

I've been retained in the Marine Corps and now work FOR Casual Platoon instead of actually being a part of it (little weird I'm in charge of the guys that I was just a part of..haha.)

I got my Special Court Martial dropped to a Company Level NJP (15 days restriction, no loss of rank, 1/3 pay for 2 months.) After I finish up my restriction I'll stay working for the Casual Platoon until they find a new unit to send me to.

Looks like I'm going to be a part of the 1st Marine Division in Pendleton. Going to suck because I'm an East Coast Marine and there's some big hills over there.

I'm unbanned for the website and still open to all questions about UA in the Marine Corps. I probably have the most knowledge of it on this website.

 

[SHORTY LONG]

Do not let your big head get in the way of your mouth about having the most knowledge on our Military Forum;
and FYI: Pendleton by far is much better than LeJeune. This I know from my personal experience, and elsewhere
in the fleet in my day.

 

[bison]

I mean about being UA in the Marines since I've experienced it first hand.
