    Yeah, that’s because it’s more like having a felony when you are dishonorably discharged, but who knows given the context of your story what happened. Was he enlisted or an officer? Which branch was he in?

    Like different things could happen depending on the situation:

    United States > Military > Army > Active Duty Army United States > Military > Air Force > Air Force National Guard

    These are both the military and being defective would be awol. Sure they are all under the UCMJ legal system, but that can be applied differently in each case.

    There are different types of discharges from the military a depends on how that army unit wants to report that particular solider.

    It’s just more of spectrum of thins that can happen.
