first off that is not true i've been awol 4 almost a year. i've had the cops run my name like 6 times and still nothing. the army does not look 4 you and they really dont care. the first time i went awol i was gone for five months and all i got was a slap on the hand. And when i go back all that will happen is i will get put with a diff unit. its not that big of a deal.
