Military Discharge - Uncharaterized 135-178 But never shipped to Basic?
The history:
Signed at DEPs at Meps. Entered unit, came to drill as ordered, worked as order, waited for ship date to BCT and AIT. After much go around for a full year, they promised me a MOS, then said they couldn't do that; lost paperwork; put me in only to tell me it was my recuiters problem, go to him. He says the training seats are full... we wait. Long story short I have been DRILLING with my unit for a full year and some change. Working all details, etc. BUT have not been to BCT OR AIT. I NEVER signed the FINAL contract people sign the day that they ship to basic. On the discharge letter I recieved from my commander it states as the reason: Failed to ship to MOS school. -- My question how can they discharge me when I was never able to complete basic training? How can I get a discharge for not shipping to AIT when I haven't graduated BASIC TRAINING? Thus not "Offically" really in the army. Can anyone sort this out for me? I'm gathering facts and forming up my written statements for review.
Thank You.
**Yes, Army Reserves.
**Yes, the letter did, and thank you, I plan on doing so today.

Were you in the Reservses? If so, then it's different with the Reserves as far as when you are technically "in" for purposes of discharge and such. With the Reserves, you are in when you show up on their manning roster and inprocess to your unit for drills.

Did the discharge letter you received indicate that you have the right to consult counsel? It should have. The U.S. Armed Forces is obligated to provide military defense counsel at no cost to anyone facing adverse administrative or disciplinary action. Contact the JAG office at your installation and ask them to refer you. If all else fails, contact the Area Defense Counsel at the Air Force Base nearest to you and ask them to help you. This whole situation smells very bad, but you really need an expert to help you with this one.
