The Godmother - S1-E10

Plot hole: If Andy really did enlist into the Army Reserves and "forgot about it" like he claimed a warrant for his arrest for desertion would have been issued, which the police would have seen when he was arrested for pot possession in the episode "Lude Awakening." After seeing the warrant, the police would have called the Army, and he would have been returned to military control to face desertion charges. He would not have been released and sent a letter a few weeks later simply telling him to report for duty or face military prison; the option to report for duty would have no longer been available when he was gone long enough to get put in deserter status.

Plot hole: A few days after deploying, Ronnie returns home due to being discharged from the National Guard because of his anxiety disorder. In reality, being medically discharged could take months or longer, depending on how long it takes the Army to decide on follow-up medical care and possible post-discharge disability compensation. If the Army suspects that he concealed an anxiety diagnosis before he enlisted, that could result in an additional investigation for possible fraudulent enlistment charges.
