One of the Army's 1st female combat engineer recruits is a deserter




One of the first women to sign up to become an Army combat engineer is now considered a deserter after being AWOL for 30 days.

Pvt. Erika Lopez was supposed to report to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, on Jan. 4 after convalescent leave. She was considered absent without leave on Jan. 5 when she didn't show. Lopez was dropped from the rolls Thursday, which means she's considered a deserter, said Tiffany Wood, a spokeswoman for Fort Leonard Wood.

“After 30 days in AWOL status, a soldier is considered a deserter, and a federal warrant is issued for his or her arrest,” Wood said.

Lopez arrived at Fort Leonard Wood Sept. 22, Wood said. She started training on Oct. 5 and was on week 11 of training when she was sent home on convalescent leave.

She's probably still waiting for her appointment with the VA.

How much combat have you seen Greg?

At week 11, she would have been in the first week of 12B training. It would of consisted mostly of classroom instruction. She would of not been exposed to anything more than any other non-combat female recruit. Most likely, she went home during Christmas break and decided the army wasn't for her.

AWOL female combat engineer recruit has turned herself in

Pvt. Erika Lopez, who went AWOL after being one of the first women to sign up to become an Army combat engineer, has turned herself in.

Lopez “turned herself in to proper military authorities” Thursday night, said Tiffany Wood, a spokeswoman for Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

“Pvt. Lopez’s unit will look at all the facts and circumstances surrounding the situation and take appropriate action,” Wood said in a statement. She declined to provide further details.

Say what, Gude? That she is a deserter? What's is there to dance around? Words do mean something, right? They do mean the same for females as males, right? Except for HRC.

As I read it, the implication is that standards were lowered, a women got into a position she didn't deserve and went AWOL as thought guys never do that.

Doubtful. As I posted above, week 11 would be the first week of 12B training - which would be mostly classroom instruction. She would not have been exposed to anything a non-combat recruit would have been.
