Tennessee's first female 12B goes AWOL

http://www.local8now.com/content/new...367601961.html


She must have figured out that her recruiter lied to her about operating a dozer in the Combat Engineers. Evidently she was on convalescent leave and decided not to come back.

Iowa NG has it's first female 12 B enlistee, she was on the news the other night and proclaimed how women can do the same things as men. There will be some 12B tasks that she will do as good as any man but it will not be all of the 12B tasks. Which means others in her squad will have to make up the slack.

Spokesperson Tiffany Wood issued a statement saying, "After 30 days in an AWOL status, a Soldier is considered a deserter and a
federal warrant is issued for his or her arrest. "

Wood says once Private Erika Lopez is arrested she'll be taken to the nearest military installment and handed over to military police.

So, the net effect of this experiment is that the Army has wasted the training and the unit is missing an Engineer private.

I will wager she is chaptered out with little if any punishment and no publicity.

Well she proved that she was as good at going AWOL as any male 12B would be. So I guess that can be seen as a small measure of success!

I certainly hope her punishment is equal to that which would be received by a male who committed the same crime.

We shall see...however, I highly doubt it.

There will be no punishment, as that simply delays the process of getting her gone, which is what the unit probably wants anyway (oh, and her CIF Issue). Hopefully she was nice enough to leave all her gear in her locker. Or maybe the unit can get her to stop by the armory to turn it all in and sign some paperwork (which makes it easier and quicker then having to send certified mail and wait for the response that will never come). Maybe if they think they have to, they'll offer her a day's pay to incentivise her.

She'll get her General discharge and everyone will be happy.

Win Win.
