If you are in the military, we can help you understand your rights:

  • Discharge procedures & regulations
  • Delayed Enlisment Program (DEP): If you have signed up for DEP and want to get out
  • If you are AWOL or UA we can advise you on how to resolve your status.
  • Conscientious Objection: If your conscience or religious faith is telling you not to take part in war, you may be a Conscientious Objector (CO), and the military is supposed to respect your beliefs. We can advise you about CO claims and help you through the process.
  • Truth in Recruiting: If you or someone you know is thinking about joining the military, read this important information first, espcially the messages from Sgt. Abe the Honest Recruiter.

We offer an individual sounding board, to help you understand your options so you can make up your mind in an informed manner.

Our service is free and private. We do not report to any military or government agency. We are supported by private donations.

If possible, We suggest you read up on various discharges before calling, so our time together can be focused on what matters most.
