If it is a pb kick this could be an explanation.

Quote:
#111 - BADNAME
Description:
This violation occurs when a player attempts to join a server with a name containing a string of characters disallowed by the server's administrator. The player must change their name in order to stop receiving this violation on the specific server.
Example:
[MM.DD.YYYY HH:MM:SS] VIOLATION (BADNAME) #111: NAME (slot #X) Bad Name [GUID(-) PL.AY.ER.IP:PORT]

Never Bannable

This was suggested as a fix from the official forums.

try this

Please use the America's Army Utility Package (AAUP) to repair the game installation. If there are numerous amounts of corrupt files you may need to reinstall the game completely.

I had a problem with an earlier version that the Utility Package fixed. So I can vouch for it.

 check your Americas Army/system/armyops.log and let us know what it says after kicking you out.

Bad name can also be because the server you try to get on has our tags banned and such.

That file is updated everytime you start AA - you'll need to fix it. The kick errors will be at the end of the file. Make sure AA isn't running, edit the file, leave a blank line, save it. Make sure it is not read only attributes (right click properties) .
When you start AA then close AA, it should be updated with new information. When you get the kick that info should be at the end of the file.
You might also check the Americas Army/system/pb/pbcl.log as well, it's the PunkBuster log.
