|  |     Sandie,
    
    I was a yoeman in the Navy for a bit... and have processed such cases.
    
    First of all, he's going to go to a court martial, it will go easier on
    him if he turns himself in.  If he doesn't... he's libel to end up
    doing brig time.  At best, he'll be fined, restricted to base, and then 
    continue his tour.  At worst... he'll be fined, placed in the brig,
    then discharged with a Bad Conduct Discharge.
    
    If you talk to him in the future, encourage him to turn himself in. 
    Usually they offer him the opportunity to get out of the Navy if he so 
    chooses... (usually a Bad Conduct Discharge).  Or the opportunity to 
    serve some minor restriction time, a light fine, and then be
    reassigned.
    
    What to do?  I can't tell you that... I can offer the suggestion that 
    you enform him that in 10 years experience, I've not seen anyone NOT
    get caught, although one that was had been gone for 3 years.  
    
    He'll be running for the rest of his life, he won't be able to visit
    you at home ever again.  He has to be prepared to not only leave the
    U.S. but face up to the fact that the longer he is gone, the worse his 
    offense becomes and the more sever the punishment will be.  If for any 
    reason he wants to return, he will wanted for desertion.

| 78.3 | Oh No, you will be visited a bit. probably. | CSC32::D_ROYER | French, in mind, body, and actions! | Wed Aug 12 1992 22:06 | 11 | 
|  |     Find the girl, that is the usual reason if they do not go home.
    
    And most Sailors are interested in a girl or two, (having served
    12 years, I can attest to that.) the usual reason is a girl.
    
    Follow what Skip said, that is the only thing.  Too bad the young
    kids get their heads on backwards.  
    
    Good luck and I ditto all of the prior advise.
