Sailor UA

I've been UA for almost 6 months now, and I'm about ready to turn myself in, however, my question is, when I go back, is it possible to get a discharge in lieu of court-martial? and also, what should I do if my boat is out to sea?

Awol

My 17 yr old son has went AWOL from basic training 3 times in 30 days. This last time we contacted his drill sergent he and he told us there is no need to bring him back. Just let nature take it's course. I hate to see him court martialed even though I think that is what will happen. This whole ordeal has my son so messed up in the head it isn't even funny. Everyone is under alot of stress. I would like to see him go back to school this school year coming up and graduate. Can you tell me what we need to do?

changing mos

My son is in the Marines. Just finished boot camp and doesn't feel he can meet some of the expectations of the infantry career path. He scored high on the test when he signed up and he was wondering if there is anyway he can change his MOS?

getting out of the army

my son is in ait, He wants out of the army. Before joing he was diagnosed as bipolar with depression.He has had drug abuse problems and alcohol problems.Trouble with DUI and domestic violence.His recruiter told him not to report this. He was on probation when he joined.

retroactive disability

My husband hurt his knee and had surgery while in the Army (Fort Carson, COlorado) for the past 25 years he has had constant pain and a number of additional sugeries, 4 orthoscopic's, 2 ACL replacements and a surgial procedure called microfracture.

We never knew that he could have been collecting some sort of disability for this from the VA untill a few months ago, when a friend mentioned it.

We went online to the VA, filled out the forms and went to the VA doctor for tests. The VA doctor told my husband that he is considered 30% disabled, that on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst) that his knee it a 10+, and that with the paperwork etc, he should be getting disability in about 120 days. He said, and wrote on the forms ( of which my husband received a copy) that the pain & deterioration in his knee is A DIRECT RESULT OF THE INJURY THAT OCCURED WHILE HE WAS IN THE SERVICE.

My question is can we get ANY money retroactively?

Broken Back

I got a compression fracture in my

back during airborne school. I had

one prior to entering the military and

now my back is acting up even after

2 months of recovery. Is this

grounds for a medical Discharge and

how would one go about finding out

what to ask for and what benefits to

expect. I have only been in 8

months and didn't want it to end this

way, but it hurts just to sit up or tie

my shoe still.

upgrading discharge

I was discharged with an oth from the navy in 2002. long story short when i was in i decided that the navy just wasn't for me. my husband filed for divorce and i missed my two daughter a lot. i try going through my chain of command for help but got none. i went ua for a short time thinking i would get kicked out but that didn't happen. i was placed on restriction, stripped of my clearance and was going to be sent out undesignated...the cmc told me that i knew what i had to do to get out. i was desperate so i left again(ua) and this time i used drugs to ensure i tested positive so they would have to kick me out. now, years later, i am going to nursing school...but i am afraid the discharge will keep me from being able to become registered as nurse. can i have the discharge upgraded.

Marrying a Foreigner

Pre-existing injury

My boyfriend had a nasty ski accident when he was younger and shattered his femur and screwed up his whole leg. He has been in AIT for one month and his knee started to pain him a couple of weks ago and his military doctor said, after reviewing his medical records, that he had poor reconstruction of is knee. The doctor ordered a bone scan and he got the results yesterday and told him they had to do it again because they couldn't read the scan. We are hoping and praying for a medical discharge because the Army was a huge mistake. We were thinking he could try to ''help'' the injury along to make it a little worse. What are the chances of getting a medical discharge from the Army on a pre-existing injury such as this? He has already failed a couple PT tests because it pains him so much.
