AWOL
AWOL, or "Absent without Leave," is usually
Weekend breaks in Brochet, Manitoba are a good way to get away from it all. This is an unincorporated community in Northern Manitoba. It is located on the northern shore of Reindeer Lake. This should not be confused with the nearby community of Indigenous people called Lac Brochet.…
Going further into failing to go to appointed place of duty is a as such. A soldier was appointed a certain time and place , that soldier was aware of it and the accused without authority failed to comply.…
In the recent past the image of our military has been tarnished in perspective of the public eye as a result of some officers not following ethical conduct of the force. They believe that their thoughts and ideas about what can come from their orders are the only thing that matters and what you feel shouldn’t matter because you are a subordinate and should follow orders. With that said I believe that there should be an ethical process involved when making certain decisions. I also believe that all subordinates should let their superiors know what they think of certain common situations so there is no need to question someone’s ethics when there isn’t time to do so.…
If a soldier is late for a formation he is in violation of Article 86 of the UCMJ, Failure to Report to Appointed Place of Duty. The supervisor must then counsel his soldier and attempt to correct this behavior. The supervisor has a lot of latitude to decide how to punish this soldier. He can make the soldier report 30 minutes prior to the first formation for the day for five consecutive days. This would typically have him reporting at 0600 hours rather than 0630 hours. He could have him report to the Staff Duty NCO every 4 hours through the night for a specified number of days. This would take away the soldier 's time creating an unpleasent situation for that soldier.…
One of the first things I learned upon entering the proud United States Army was to be at the right place, at the right time, in the right uniform, with the right attitude. No Soldier can go wrong as long as they stick to those guidelines. That said, there are Soldiers that do happen to slip up and find that they are not at the right place at the right time. Those people are most commonly known as ‘’no shows”. What do I mean by “no shows”? “No shows” are the Soldiers that fail to show up at their "place of duty" at the time they were designated to be there.…
Illegal Immigrants are periodically perceived as problematic intruders in American society. Consequently, children of illegal immigrants are subjected to high levels of discrimination daily. With a specific end goal, to secure the constitutional rights of all Americans, every person must address the negative perceptions created on undocumented immigrants and their families.…
The United States has been invaded—not by a conquering army or some world superpower. These invaders take on a different form. They have no leader, no weapons of mass destruction, and no militaristic plan of attack. Yet these invaders pose one of the greatest threats to America’s future. Who are these dreaded invaders who pose such a threat? They are illegal immigrants.…
On , I was told that my hair was close to being out of standard IAW AR 670-1. I was told that I needed to get a haircut that day by and . I acknowledged both of them and told them both that I would get one that night. Later that day, after work, I called the lady who cuts my hair and she told me that she could get me in the following day. Knowing that I was told that I needed a haircut on that day, I disregarded a lawful order from a senior Noncommissioned Officer. That is in direct violation of Article 92 – Failure to obey order or regulation of the Manual for Courts Martial (MCM). That behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in the US Army. Doing stuff like that makes leaders lose trust in their soldiers to accomplish missions.…
The United States is made up of immigrants from all over the world. So why does this free land now come at such a high price? Why must one lose their freedom, family, and home?…

A service member can also be punished under Article 134 – Self Injury without intent to avoid service and Article 80 – Attempts. Malingering basically means that any action taken by a soldier to willfully avoid duty will be punished by court martial or other UCMJ action. There are severe consequences for such actions, let alone the problems it will cause to the soldier’s unit and his or her fellow soldiers.…
Repeated tardiness can cause a lot of issues for the unit but it more than likely can severely impact the soldier making the offense. Leaders may choose to annotate events of tardiness in the service members counseling packet. If the soldier has received enough counseling’s, or if a single event is severe, then the leader can push for administrative action such as filing for an Article 15. A soldier who is late can be charged with violation to multiple punitive articles prescribed in the UCMJ:…

One of the most controversial political issues is illegal immigration from Mexico. Somewhat overlooked until September 11, illegal immigration became a hot button issue after these events because of the easy access for terrorists to come into the United States. Illegal immigration into the United States is a problem that needs to be stopped, because it is unfair to both Americans and to the people of the country that they come from. The majority of the illegal immigrants in the US are from Mexico (Marek, 30). Roy Beck, a former journalist and frequent speaker on population and immigration issues, says "The national consensus is that the United States should be a post-mass immigration country that…
Immigration has been one of the most important international phenomena. People have migrated across boundaries owing to economic, political, or social reasons. Immigration to Unites States has been controversial topic and a major source of population growth and cultural exchange over more than 3 decades. According to United States Census the population will grow to 420 million by the year 2050. While on one hand, immigration contributes to the society by creating diverse culture, enhance economy, but on other hand side, illegal immigrant hampers job market and has endangered the national security. Punishing the employers for hiring illegal immigrants, implementing strict border protection and accepting talented legal immigrants as permanent residence or citizen, are some of the way to solve the immigration problem.…
