You have a skewed view of the disciplinary system. Company Grade or Field Grade officers almost never see an Article 15: if they screw up badly enough, they’ll get a poor Fitness Report, of Nonpunitive Letter of Caution, or a Letter of Reprimand. Any of those are likely to end your chances of promotion and you might as well get the old resume out and start looking at civilian life.
I’ve never heard of an officer getting an Article 15. Courts Martial for serious offenses - but those are very rare. The service gets rid of poor officers by failing to promote.
As far as criticizing women’s performance in the combat arms, all you have to do is stick to the facts and keep it within the service. Those of us have seen combat only deal in effectiveness and unit cohesion. We’ll see how well our leaders deal with this.
I have. Twice. One lieutenant got an Article 15 due to the length of his hair. Another was caught using marijuana.
This was at Fort Lewis 50+ years ago.
A few would get an Article 15 for a DUI. Depending on the level of their security clearance, they'd lose not just the clearance but their position and would be reassigned to an admin or protocol role until they fulfilled their Active Duty Service Committment (ADSC).
If a lieutenant, they wouldn't be promoted to captain and would be discharged at the four year mark. If already a captain, they'd be discharged at the end of their ADSC which was usually two years incurred from their Date Arrived Station.
(Pilots and navigators had longer ADSCs and depending on staffing shortages, would be kept on board since rated captains could serve twenty years without being promoted to major).
