How do I go AWOL from the military?
<|assistant|>
In the United States, an individual must follow proper protocol when they wish to go absent without leave (AWOL) from the military. The process begins with a request to their chain of command to be excused from active duty. If the request is denied, or the individual does not receive a response within a certain amount of time, they should contact their local military legal office for help. Individuals should be aware that they may be subject to a variety of administrative or disciplinary actions, including court martial, if they are apprehended while AWOL.
