Question
OK i have a friend the i g-raped (national guard)that has not been to basic or ait and went to his 1st drill last month didn't show for his 2nd one this month, they took him in today and i was wondering what the punishments could be for it ?
It depends. He's in the National Guard which tends to have squirrely UCMJ ways... He will probably get kicked out of the guard and told he can't re-enlist. If he's truly treated as a deserter it will get much worse with the potential for a federal felony conviction and a dishonorable discharge. Without more information, I can't accurately answer this in detail.
