Being Late
The military is not for the lazy individual who spends every day on the computer or spends their time wandering around doing jack squat. Being in the military means a person will follow the orders of those appointed over them and are willing to risk their lives for the United States of America. Being in the military requires dedication, unwavering perseverance, and simply the ability to follow orders. Now we’ll discuss the consequences of being UA, and some examples of people being UA and how it affected their lives.
First let us learn the definition of “Unauthorized Absence” (or “AWOL” in the Air Force/Army). Being UA or AWOL in the military means simply means you or other personnel are not at the appointed place at the right time that you’re supposed to be there. So for example if one were to be missing for a couple of days and not report in, one is then considered UA or AWOL. The punishment of being UA or AWOL depends on the severity of the case. The range of the punishments can vary from no punishment at all to a dishonorable discharge and spending years in jail.
Being UA in the military violates article 86 of the UCMJ. To simplify article 86, if one fails to go to his/her appointed place of duty at the time prescribed, or chooses to remain absent from his or her unit, organization, or place of duty at which is required to be at the time prescribed, and a court martial will direct the punishment.

    The three articles we will be focusing on are article eighty six (absence without leave), article ninety one (insubordinate conduct toward warrant officer, non-commissioned officer or petty officer) and article one hundred and thirty four (general article). In the United States military personnel will be labeled as “AWOL” or absent without leave if absent from their post without a valid pass, liberty or leave. The United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, and United States Coast Guard generally refer to this as "Unauthorized Absence" or (UA). Personnel are dropped from their unit rolls after thirty days and then listed as deserters. However, as a matter of U.S. military law, desertion is not measured by the time away from the unit, but alternatively: leaving or remaining absent from…
