It saddens me to admit this, but I've came close to giving up on my cousin. He's a good kid; Has a heart in the right place and a good head - even though his head is in the clouds sometimes

That's not half a bad idea. However, in the meanwhile I wrote to the consulate and am waiting for some more information (contacts and such). If that line of investigation fails I'll probably do that, also.
Off topic - guys that cut and ran before they got to boot camp were usually given an administrative discharge i.e. the paperwork was torn up and no more was said about the matter.
Or at least this used to be the case. IANAL but I can't see any reason why the Army would do anything formally against a guy who, while technically a deserter, simply chose not to go to boot camp.
I appreciate the thought, but keep in mind that I'm talking about Israel - A country which has mandatory enlistment as a core rule. It's not about not goint to boot camp; A person skipping out on enlistment without clearing out the details of discharge (which he was in the middle of doing) might face a few years in jail, easy; A good scenario will be a few weeks of military prison (which is much nicer in Israel than ordinary prison - I'm serious, this isn't a sarcastic remark), and then discharge, but even that's pretty creepy to a teenager who knows nothing of either.
. . . but keep in mind that I'm talking about Israel
Oh!
a few weeks of military prison (which is much nicer in Israel than ordinary prison - I'm serious, this isn't a sarcastic remark
No, I get that. The brig aboard Camp Lejeune was nicer than a civilian jail: it's mostly like living in a barracks, except that you can't leave. Plus you're under sterner discipline in confinement. But it's not as bad as, say, boot camp.
However, that's for nice prisoners. Murders, rapists and so on .. they serve time in a not-so-nice Federal prison.
תתקשר למדריך שלו מהרדוף - צביקה tel: 052-4465918 יש לו את המייל שלו (שזו הדרך היחידה להתקשר אליו מאז שהוא עזב את החווה בה הוא עבד ) יתכן שיש לו עוד פרטים אבל לא בטוח. גם ס' אחותו נמצאת בקשר איתו אתה יכול לנסות להתקשר אליה. בשלב זה לא הייתי מזעיקה את חיל הפרשים. אמא

I'm assuming you don't have tens of thousands of dollars to pay for a crack team of international detectives.
Put his picture on Flickr. Publish a 'have you seen this man' blog post and hope it gets picked up by the internets.
No, I"m not being flip, I'm serious.
