Re: Skipping out on Army - What is penalty?
Good People,<br /><br />Thank you for all the input.<br /><br />My wife's niece is a bit of a troubled and difficult young woman. Although she does not get in trouble with the law, she has her own unique personal behavior problems that cause distress to the whole family. Basically she is lazy, lies and is very manipulative.<br /><br />She has left for the Army and I am sure that she is in for a big surprise. All those manipulation tactics she uses on her Mom and family just aren't going to work there. Actually, she used the threat of joining to Army to get her way, and it sort of back-fired on her. She didn't get her way, and now she is in the Army. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! (thank you Gomer Pyle)<br /><br />Personally, I do not believe she belongs in the Army, will be able to make any real contribution to the Army and will most likely have many negative experiences while in the Army. I believe she suffers from a mental disorder and would have a much better quality of life if she followed through with her psychiatrist and got the proper medication. But what do I know. <br /><br />Hopefully, she will come out a better person than she went in. I hope, I hope, I hope....
