Gregory Yetman, the Jan. 6 suspect who was the subject of a manhunt in New Jersey, has turned himself in to authorities without incident, according to the FBI.
These tales of coup consequences warm my heart. They tried to steal our freedom to elect our leaders, our self-actualization, that thing we fought a revolutionary war over. Fuck them.
At the time of the Capitol attack, Yetman was a military police sergeant in the New Jersey Army National Guard, a spokesperson for the New Jersey National Guard confirmed to ABC News. He served in the New Jersey Army National Guard for approximately 12 years and was honorably discharged in March 2022, according to the spokesperson.
Can honorable discharges be revoked and made dishonorable? Seems like taking the attempted insurrection and violation of his oath into account might be a good thing to do.
To my recollection he is past that. So if you are a one and done contract 4/5 years you actually sign up for 8 years total (its in the fine print) . You do your 4/5 active then you go into what is called the inactive reserves. You don’t report to anyone or do anything but during that 3/4 years you can be called up to service again. And that is how they are typically reactivated and then punished. Since this guy is at 12 years total he is past that 8 years and it would be much harder to reactivate him.
I’m not an expert either just saw someone have this happen to them. Also this isn’t saying if he should or should not get punished under the UCMJ just sharing some thoughts on how it could/ could not happen.
Right. The only times I’ve heard of people being called back and tried after long periods of time is when they were senior officers.
Pretty sure they can still downgrade your discharge characterization for being a piece of shit later on, even if you were junior enlisted. But they probably don’t care unless you do something like this guy.
No, they do. And they’ll kick you out early for being a piece of shit quick enough. But everything is different for officers, because all those regulations date way back to when military officers were nobility.

How could he be honourably discharged whilst on the run (and presumably AWOL)?
It seems like he wasn’t identified until around March 2023, which was after he was honorably discharged. There wasn’t a warrant for his arrest until this month.
Thank you for reading properly so I don’t have to. :/
I’m the furthest thing from an expert, but I believe they can be recalled to service and court-martialed.

Jesus Christ. I knew it was hard to get out of the military once you are in, but I didn’t realize they don’t just let you leave.
