Are there any cases that prevent the request to return to service again from being accepted?

The answer is yes. There are a number of reasons that may prevent you from returning to your military service again, including:

• Dismissal as a result of absence or absence from work without excuse or justification. It should be noted that the dismissed person may be considered if strong justifications are provided for the reason for the absence and a medical and disciplinary examination is passed.

What happens after a soldier is dismissed due to absence?

If you are a soldier and have exceeded the permitted period of absence, a set of measures will be taken against you by the military authority to which you belong, namely:

• Open a formal investigation to determine the reasons for the absence and confirm whether the absence is justified and has strong evidence such as emergency health or family circumstances, or if it results from negligence or evasion of service.
• The application of disciplinary penalties in accordance with military regulations, which include a warning or alert in the event of a short-term absence, deduction from salary as a punitive measure, and suspension from work or disciplinary detention in the event of repeated absence. This may extend to imposing a penalty of military detention.
• A decision will be made to permanently dismiss him from service in the event of repeated or prolonged absence, after completing the necessary legal procedures and investigations to ensure that all other disciplinary measures have been exhausted.
• If a soldier is dismissed due to absence, he may lose some of the rights and benefits he enjoyed while performing service, such as financial dues and insurance, depending on the system followed by the relevant military authority.
• It is worth noting that a dismissed soldier has the right to submit a military service reinstatement application form to appeal the decision, if he has legal or health justifications supporting his position, and the penalty given may be reconsidered if there is an error in the procedures or insufficient evidence is available.
