Question
i know someone in army reserves who was being deployed to iraq, she called her co and said she will kill herself before going over there...now she and her husband are not showing up to drills--what will happen to her if they find her?
She will be in a serious amount of trouble, as will he. There are numerous crimes under military law that she can be charged with, especially since she is going AWOL in order to evade being deployed. She will be found because as a deserter her Social Security number will be entered into databases and she'll have a warrant out for her arrest, as will her husband. If they don't start showing up to drills and resolving this in an honorable way, this could get very nasty for them.
