tomorrow im leaving

[mikegar]

yes i agree the navy is a cake walk, but something about being the militarys dog just doesnt sit right with me. it reminds me of when i was younger, i had all the basics provided for me, then i became an adult and had responsibilities but i was finally my own man. then i joined the navy and i lost my sence of freedom. its not the mental or physical rigors that drove me to go awol, it was my freedom i craved.

[franco90]

freedom you craved ... dude you fuck your life up now think about it....UA = Bad discharge
I wish you luck .... the military is not for everyone.

how much time did they give you in the brig..

[mikegar]

well currently im in pensacola, been sitting around for a couple weeks. they are suppose to be sending me to jackson ville and i will get my punishment there. when you are ua and you get discharged you get an other than honerable, not a dishonerable.

Don't forget you can always re apply for an honorable discharge after X amount of time. (I believe it's 6 months, but I could be wrong). Most people don't get it, but it's worth a shot to help clear up your future. I hear that the Navy very rarely ever gives upgrades on discharges, but again ... it's worth a shot. Goodluck with your time!

Wow man, sounds like you lucked out. Goodluck with everything!

[SamE30e]

Shitty situation man, but looks like you lucked out.

I'm not too familiar with these things but, wouldn't they just come find you?

[Vedubin01]

what is an OTH discharge?

[mikegar]

OTH discharge means under other than honerable conditions i think. its not an honerable, but not a dishonerable either. as for them coming to get me, they dont do that any more. all they do is issue a federal warrent for your arrest. and yes i did luck out.

[nickpdx]

Congrats...glad you didn't get totally fucked over.

[Bimmerista]

I'm not completely familiar with these situations, but can someone fill me in as far as detailing me a comparable situation to the OP?

Thanks!

I think the purpose of the OTH discharge is so that your career isn't ruined for the rest of your life. Not 100% though.

So.. Say if you got pulled over for a traffic ticket you'd be fucked?
