My mom has been talking to someone online and the person stated that they were in the military. To be specific, the Army. This guy states that you have to pay to take a leave of absence. I know that this guy is just trying to scam my mom because of other signs, he won't even video chat her. So I'm needing help answering these few questions please. Can you video chat on base and when you're actually active? Do you have to pay to take a leave of absence on base and also while you are active? If you can't video chat, which I am about 90% sure that you can video chat, what are the penalties for doing so if it's not allowed? Thank you guys a lot, I really appreciate any help and feedback.
