Is this the guy that showed up to the base with a TV crew in tow?
Failure to go. Bad conduct discharge.
They have real nice accomendations for people like this at Leavenworth. Chicken S--t.
Another coward that didn't bother to read his enlistment contract. I hope he enjoys Leavenworth.
Im sorry I do not feel for him. Why join the military if you do not want to serve?? HE isnt resigning..he will be discharged. He is a disgrace to those who made the decision to serve, who have served and will continue to do so. He doesnt deserve to wear the uniform.
first of all, I doubt he was a good sailor in the first place...
secondly, if this idiot had read his contract, he would know he cant miss movement.....
I hope they throw the book at him....
He's a "weapons control technician" and now he's filing for CO status? DOH!
Lovely weather in Kansas this time of year....and next year...and the year after that....

"......agree with a chaplain who said that "it was morally imperative that the conscientious objector status be granted," Warren said."
Send the idiot chaplain to the brig with him. Did these two idiots get together on December 5th and decide he was a c.o..
If he wanted to file for c.o. status the Navy would have been receptive. Doing so by refusing to get underway is worthy of spending a year in the San Diego brig with the Marine guards knocking his a^% around for a year.
Why would this wuss think that military service is a game? I honestly hope he gets brig time in addition to a bad conduct discharge.
You stupid sh*thead, you don't have the option of declaring anything criminal. You took an oath, you putz. Congress gave POTUS the authority and he exercised it. You're a disgrace to every fallen American who died to give you a free place to live. Were it up to me, you would've already been put up against a wall and shot, cremated and your ashes scattered in a landfill somewhere.
This cowardly bozo is in the Navy on a ship. He has no chance of closing with the enemy. Put him in the brig for disobeying orders, he took the governments money and needs to do his duty. I'd put him before a firing squad for desertion in wartime.

Paredes must have listened to the anti-recruiting counselors, knucklehead.
I really have to wonder about the leftist/communist/socialists of this country.
They are still trying to replay their glory days of the mid-1960s through the mid-1970’s (How close we came to losing our country.).
The basic thing that they forget, that “they” also includes the LMSM air heads, is the entire logic behind the anti-military/anti-war movement has shifted. Oddly enough it appears that their fellow travelers in Canada have.
There is no more draft. You are in the military because you want to be there. While the motivations vary greatly between individuals, everyone put their hand up and repeated the oath of enlistment voluntarily.
So, instead of being viewed as a poor uninformed draftee/impressed semi-slave people like PO Paredes are being viewed as a contract breakers. That is something that a majority of Americans can understand. Mangers at all levels take a very dim view of employees who break their contract. And, employees take a similar view when management does like wise. How can the military managers (aka Officers) or employees (aka enlisted) be any different?
The bad thing is that I expect to see many more such articles as the leftist/communist/socialists/LMSM attempt to recapture their power and continue to fail miserably.
PS: LMSM = Legacy Main Stream Media.
"I showed up at the base expecting to hear whether the local Navy command had approved my conscientious objector status."
You should have never showed up at the recruiters office.
He didn't joine the Navy to serve his country, he joined for tuition benefits.
I hope he never sees them.
Why should it, unauthorized absence and missing ships movement are both infractions of the UCMJ. This guy is an idiot. If he was working for me when I was in, he'd have fallen up so many ladders it would make his head spin.
