Yes. The date you report in for Basic.
To write an explanation answer letter of why you were AWOL you should include your name, rank, and specifically why you weren't on duty. You can start the letter with," please accept this as written notification as to why I was AWOL."
He can be courtmartialed for being AWOL (Absent Without Leave). And unlike active duty, you wont go to jail, you will bedishonorablydischarged and it will be a hefty stain on your record.
The only way you can AWOL from the Army Reserve is if you're called to active duty, and fail to report in. If you miss your UTA drills (10 days of drill missed will get you discharged), it's typically just a discharge for unsatisfactory participation, and you could go back in 30 days later if you wished.
You have to be 18 years old.Actually the minimum age to become a Soldier (Army of course) is 17. However, you must have your guardian's consent to sign any documents because you are under the legal age of 18.If you are talking about another branch:Active duty Army - 17- 42Army Reserves - 17- 42Army National Guard - 17- 42Active duty Air Force - 17- 27Air Force Reserve - 17- 34Air National guard - 17-34Active duty Navy - 17- 34Navy Reserves - 17- 39Active duty Marines - 17- 28Marine Corps Reserves - 17- 29Active duty Coast Guard - 17- 27Coast Guard Reserves - 17- 27Now as far as Army maximums go, I do believe the maximum age limit of 42 (raised in 2006) was a temporary "study". It may have changed back to 35.
The National Guard and Reserves are branches of the active duty military.
Being AWOL - means you have left somewhere that you were expected to be - without permission. It's typically applied to the armed forces, especially the army. If a soldier leaves the base without authorisation - he is considered AWOL, and would be disciplined on either his return, or capture !
