And not one single thing mentioned in the complaints (other than the possible female guards in the shower room/toilet) are even legitimate! It’s just a bunch of whining about how they think they have the same rights and privileges as those of us who DO follow the law and orders.

Too freaking bad. Should have done what you were told, followed CoC, use the resources provided to you BEFORE you decided to take off.
Seriously—who files a CO 3 days before leaving??? You KNEW you were leaving and that 3 days was not even possible for it to be reviewed or handled in any way.
And the other guy—-Church. When he discovered his family was living in a van….you get a hold of Family Services and find out what you can do to HELP your family…not go AWOL and site financial difficulties. Did you honestly think that by going AWOL that having pay and rank reductions was somehow going to help your kids get food and shelter??? How is that even a possibility?? You help your family by GIVING THEM YOUR MONEY for food and shelter!!! Seriously—you’re going to be deployed, you don’t need that money for the next year—-you could have done the right thing by your kids and set up an allotment for your wife/ex-wife each month. THAT would have been helping ease the financial burden on your family. Now they’re screwed—and so are you.

People just don’t THINK about the consequences of their actions these days. No personal responsibility or accountability.
