Download or read book AWOL written by Kathy Roth-Douquet and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This impassioned, convincing manifesto” from two policy experts with military family “calls for class integration of the military” (Publishers Weekly). Military service was once a natural part of good citizenship, with Americans of all classes serving during wartime. Not anymore. As Kathy Roth-Douquet and Frank Schaeffer assert in this groundbreaking work, there is a growing disconnect between the cultural “elite” who guide military policy and the rank-and-file servicemembers charged with carrying it out. While the privileged lack the benefits and perspective gained through military service, those who do serve feel under-supported and morally distanced from the rest of the country. And when only a handful of congressmembers have military experience, it can become too easy—or too hard—to send soldiers into combat. Based on extensive research and firsthand accounts of service, AWOL is both informative and personal. As the father of a former Marine, Frank Schaeffer knows the anguish and pride of seeing a child deployed into combat. Kathy Roth-Douquet, wife of a career officer, knows struggle of keeping a family together with a husband at war, as well as the satisfaction of raising children in an ethic of service. Intimately acquainted with the glory and the sacrifice of military service, these co-authors offer the urgent wake-up call that America needs.
Download or read book Awol in the Military written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 4-year period ended June 30, 1977, the military reported 608,000 absence without leave (AWOL) incidents exceeding 24 hours, costing the Government $1.1 billion. A low AWOL rate may reflect sound personnel leadership, good management, and an effective system of punishments which deters and rehabilitates. On the other hand, a low rate may reflect success in recruiting high school graduates and the quick separation of AWOL-prone people. However, jobs affect AWOL rates regardless of education level and mental ability; people assigned to low-skill or undesirable jobs have much higher AWOL rates than people assigned to higher skill jobs which are generally viewed as more desirable and challenging. Even though better educated and more intelligent people go AWOL less often than others in the same jobs, their AWOL rates increase as the skill level of their job decreases. Although the military justice system authorizes punishment for AWOL, it also permits no punishment and provides no guidance on normal ranges of punishment between these two extremes. The services' practices in dealing with AWOL lack credibility and compromise the deterrent potential in making AWOL a crime. After AWOL offenders are punished, commanders lack the needed criteria to make cost-effective decisions as to whether these individuals should be retained or separated. Inadequate policy guidance combined with differing attitudes among the services and commanders have resulted in wide disparities in the reasons for separation and the types of discharges imposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SIFIED AFTER 90 DAYS IN THEIR INITIAL UNIT ASSIGNMENT. AWOL and Non-AWOL soldiers were then compared to determine whether certain factors could be used to predict which soldiers would go AWOL, or could predict ratings of acquired military skills and of leadership potential. The results indicate that AWOL and Non-AWOL subjects differed on personality, education, intelligence, aptitude, and military component. No differences were found in attitude toward the Army, race, or physical status. AWOL and Non-AWOL subjects differed in age during initial unit assignment, but only among 17- and 18-year-old soldiers during basic combat training. Only 19-year-old and older subjects differed in career orientation. In general, the same factors that were related to AWOL were related also to military skill and leadership potential. (Author).

Download or read book The Correlates of AWOL written by Donna C. Angle and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literature search was conducted on research about AWOL in the Army from 1941 to 1975. Sources were official military and government documents and data, military-sponsored research, and civilian psychological and sociological research. The reports and data sources, published and unpublished, were identified; their findings were summarized in roughly chronological order. Theoretical research on correlates of AWOL parallels criminological theory in each period considered, but has not produced workable solutions to the AWOL problem. Soldiers' personal characteristics and preservice background can be correlated to some extent with AWOL behavior, but not consistently enough that potential delinquents can be identified accurately. AWOL behavior does appear to be a function of the individual's response to a given situation--not of the military situation itself--and is likely to be repeated in spite of punishment. AWOL soldiers did not differ greatly over the period studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Enlisted desertion rates in the U. S. Army have been increasing in recent years. A study has been undertaken to examine this issue to shed light on why soldiers desert and what can be done to intervene and lessen its occurrence. As a first step, the literature on desertion was reviewed and summarized. The topics covered in this report include how desertion is defined and handled currently, how deserters differ from other soldiers, the reasons for desertion found in previous research, the consequences of desertion, steps that can be taken to prevent this outcome, and what needs to be learned to assist Army decision makers and commanders as they seek to deal with this problem."--DTIC.

Book excerpt: As a high school dropout who wanted to better his life by joining the army, Robert L. Rice got a rude awakening when he was shipped off to Vietnam, a place and war he admits he knew little about before arriving there. He was wounded in combat and nearly died but was encouraged by an angel he saw on the battlefield. Going AWOL several times, doing time in the stockade, getting a Dear John letter, Rices tour of duty was like a laundry list of nearly everything bad that could happen to a man in a war zone. Even after he got back on his feet in the States, the mental turmoil the war had stirred up persisted. He became a minister and worked with convicts, one of whom was the son of a man Rice met in the stockade in Vietnam.
Download or read book A W O L Christians written by Dennis Ray and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AWOL military personnel are no longer acting in accordance with the prime directive of their branch of the military. They are not in good standing with their commanders and have forfeited the rights and privileges of their rank and position in that branch of service. They are Absent With-Out Leave. As soldiers in the army of Christ, we too have a prime directive. As with military personnel, if we Christians neglect the commands of our Leader and do not act in accordance with the prime directive to love God and to love one another, we can no longer be considered in good standing with our Commander, Father God. We forfeit rights and privileges promised us in the covenant God made with man. We then are considered AWOL as Christians (Acting With-Out Love). In AWOL Christians, you will explore the agape love of God, noting how it differs from our worldly notion of what love is. You will explore the characteristics of agape and examine biblical examples of this giving and forgiving love. Let AWOL Christians help you examine the ways in which you might unknowingly be AWOL and guide you to the "love walk" God desires and expects of us all.
