45 years AWOL that's gotta be a record. I wonder how they tracked him down.
Eta: Yep he beat this guys record of 40 years. He received a 30 day suspended sentence 40 years AWOL |

He bought a house in his real name, so that couldn't have been hard to track. I wonder how he was employed for 45 years and which name he used. Must not have had a bank account under his fake name. What about DL, etc? That's what I'm curious about |

What a waste of gas that drive was to go arrest the guy.
I'm curious to know how he handled DMV, taxes, or anything credit related for the last four decades. Also, what other charges on top of AWOL was he facing before he ran.. |

From 1940 until 1973, during both peacetime and periods of conflict, men were drafted to fill vacancies in the United States Armed Forces that could not be filled through voluntary means. |

Why go AWOL from the Air Force?
We're not sitting in trenches or doing PT 8 hrs a day. Considering he was using a false identity (10 years his junior) he will likely be facing other charges, because I seriously doubt a task force is tracking down deserters from 1972. He popped on something else I guarantee it. |

Last I heard about these types of cases - they just deny benefits to the miscreant.
A few years ago - A friend was informed that one of the guys under her authority had been picked up after he was overdue by several years. She was advised that a detail wasn't going to be dispatched to fetch him - it was too costly - and they'd just revoke any benefits he'd otherwise have had coming. With cost cutting measures being what they are - I'm surprised anyone would bother tracking these guys anymore. |

No statute of limitations? This is a great use of gov resources. Limitations are good for both sides, so they can move on. Good thing they found him or I don't know what would have happened. If you have gotten away with a crime for 20+ years and kept your nose clean how is jail time going to help anyone. If money is owed of course they should pay it still but other than that this was pointless.

Pissed it all away? 
And I'm guessing he AWOL'd over non-military issues/criminal things/psychotic break/etc. I doubt he went "Fuck it, take that, retirement!" I guess he could have chicken'd out of Vietnam. But in the AF? Seems unlikely. |

I saw 2 UA (Marine Corps AWOL) while I was in. 1 guy left because his wife in another state said something to him while he was on duty. Asked the O of the day for a smoke break and left. He turned himself in 6 months later and was discharged OTH after spending a few months cleaning up anything we could find.
Another guy jumped off the USS Essex, dude lost a key to a locker that held CADS and pen flares, the OIC was going to bring him up on charges. He mentioned wanting off the ship and they strapped him down to a bed for a few hours. The XO or Co of the ship went down to talk with him, had him untied and he walked over to the side of the ship, waved to the camera and jumped. A buddy of his said he felt like he wanted to live about 2 feet from hitting the water which was 35 ft or so from the top of the flight deck. Who knows what these folks have going on upstairs.

The government has a very long memory. In 1972 I was stationed with the senior Marine detachment in the Chicago area. I made several trips to the Cook County jail to take custody of deserters. Some were from the Korean and WW II. We would thought them in the brig until there was a space available flight to their former command where they would get a Courts Marshall. It happened quite regularly.

" Between 1954-1964, from the end of the Korean War until the escalation in Vietnam, the “peacetime” draft inducted more than 1.4 million American men, an average of more than 120,000 per year. As part of their Cold War mission, many state universities required ROTC training by male students, although campus protests caused administrators to begin repealing mandatory ROTC in the late 1950s and early 1960s."
