alledged navy deserter
my husband received a letter in july of 07 stating that he was declared a deserter of the united states navy. We were stationed in Norfolk, VA and my husband told me that he went through a medical evaluation and was tested and declared to be ADHD. At this point in time my husband was lead to believe that he would receive a general discharge for medical purposes, this occured around the first of the year Jan. 07. He received his last direct deposit on jan. 15 of 2007. At this point we thought we would receive his dd214 and we never received it and we stayed in Va until may 5 2007 before we return back to our hometown. Can you give some adivce on what we should do in order to get this resolved. One of my main questions is if he was considered a deserter why weren't we notified at our residents in Va, Beach after 30 days we didn't hear anything why was is 7 months later???
Thanks TS
Re: alledged navy deserter
Although you expected that he would be separated in January, it appears that he was not actually discharged and has been listed as UA. What he needs to do is to go back to his unit to get this straightened out. Hopefully they will just give him the general discharge they were going to give him, but they might play hard ball and try to push for a bad discharge. I will do whatever I can to help you, but he will have to turn himself into his unit to get this resolved. Contact me if you have any questions.
