Quehubo007 <<So you are a repeat offender? AWOL not once but twice. You demonstrated one of my points about "victims".>> Which one of your points? I knew the possible penalties for going awol. I expected to pay the price. I paid the price. I didn't think part of the price for awol was or should have been the special processing basement, but the main reason I brought it up was because I learned something about human nature there. I know that we have different rights in the military. I also know that when you take away those rights in the military it creates power in the hands of military personnel and I saw what that did to them and the unnecessary price in terms of humiliation, physical harm and loss of dignity that others sometimes paid. By the way, I was a repeat, repeat offender. I was awol several times although some of the times I was not caught. In spite of that, and the images it probably conveys in the minds of "right thinking" people, I received an honorable discharge at the rank of sergeant e-5 after my two years, even after being busted in rank after article 15 for one of my awols. I don't regret a single awol and I don't have any problems with the army penalizing me for them, so I don't think you can label me another "complaining victim". My decisions were just another cost benefit analysis where I decided the benefits of doing something else for a while were worth the costs of potentially getting caught and punished for awol. In retrospect, I was right. Ed
