Yes I agree it looks like she was AWOL and I certainly hope that husband of hers has a talk with her. He should have done it before marrying her. Unless she's had an aneurysm it appears she's unstable.

And she's a Major too. How many people are Majors by the time they're (only) 30? Maybe 2 or 3?

judgemental jerks (hear your name?) on this thread need to stop it, and NOW.

Seen it happen before. I don't want to say that women are more prone to this sort of 'flight', but, hey, they ARE more emotionally unstable, and I do recall several similar incidents while I was in a position to know.

Assuming that she just went AWOL, I doubt that much will happen to her, particularly if there's some medical diagnosis. At worst at Article 15, depending on the facts. The USAF just HATES to harshly displine its (few) female officers. They'll bend over backwards to 'save them'.

Had this been a guy, and it turns out its just a case of AWOL, his career would be effectively over.

I find the speculation, without a shred of evidence, that she ran off to be offensive. I have a higher opinion of our women in uniform.

I don't know if the facts of the case will ever be disclosed but, from what little information has been released, I suspect that she has been kidnapped and assaulted.

American women are accustomed to moving freely wherever they wish to go. Expecting to have that same sort of freedom in other parts of the world, especially in Muslim countries, is dangerous.

You're unstable. Why assume she was AWOL, when she's a major, in a Muslim Country, Female, blond, etc? Kidnapping is the FIRST thing I'd think of. And yes, I answered you before...I'm still ticked.

Yeh, she went AWOL while shopping with her friends, and then beat herself up.

Get a grip.
