U.S. Army Reserve Black Hawk pilot Chris Busby, 28, and Stephanie Kenny-Velasquez, 25, went to an Austin courthouse to get their marriage certificate on Dec. 3.
Roughly 48 hours later, Velasquez entered a Houston Immigration and Customs Enforcement office for a routine check-in and never emerged, Busby said. …
…
Velasquez came to the United States in 2021 hoping to start a new life far from the violence and political instability of her native Venezuela. She does not have a criminal record and presented herself to immigration officials in Miami when she arrived in the country.
Originally you said
And I said that 31 days is nothing, to which you responded
So which is it? I was responding to your original claim that after 31 days ICE will hunt you down and give you ten years. Which is a completely silly claim on its own, the US Marshals are in charge of finding federal fugitives.
To the best of my knowledge, all personnel get dropped from their unit rolls after thirty days and then get listed as deserters.
Based on the captain’s masts of the sailors who went UA from the commands I was stationed at, time away doesn’t seem to matter as much as intent to stay gone from service, avoiding hazardous duty or some contract obligation.
I don’t see scared booters running as really counting in the same manner as the commenter we’re talking about, especially where they declare intent to be gone and staying gone until the wife’s free (and as they said, even then they might stay gone.)
Having not been an SEA nor having anything to do with JAG or MPs, I can’t say with certainty when a naval command (let alone the Army or any other branch, ftm) will notify the police as to the sm’s status as desertion.
Again, given the new nature of booters and their purpose for desertion, they’re probably going to get leniency based on their non-PO/NCO status, but that may not always be so. CO’s discretion applies here.
In short: your booter? You’re right, very probably not. A booter’s who’s made it clear that LE’s gonna have to drag ‘em back? Or commenter? After just (or possibly even less than) 31 days? If the courts martial determines based on presented evidence that ten years can be awarded and feels justified in making it happen, then yes, a tenner after (or even under) just 31 days.
Thats a lot of text that didnt actually respond to my comment.
Your original statement was that ICE will snatch you up after 31 days of being awol.
Let’s clarify a couple things. You are awol the second you dont show up to formation. Article 85 is desertion, the UCMJ article that you can get charged with. Theres no arbitrary amount of days, the second you’re awol you could be charged with desertion. Read the Article and tell me if you see a time.
You also completely ignored the ICE comment. Your factually incorrect and fear mongering comments are unwelcome.
