AF issues Article 15 to top military lawyer

USAF Link Public News Releases ^ | 12/22/2004 - RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas | (AFPN)

Posted on 12/22/2004 8:10:15 PM PST by axes_of_weezles AF issues Article 15 to top military lawyer 12/22/2004 - RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- The commander of Air Education and Training Command completed nonjudicial punishment action against the Air Force’s former top military lawyer Dec. 21.

Following a review of an Air Force inspector general investigation into allegations of wrongdoing, Gen. Donald G. Cook, AETC commander, punished Maj. Gen. Thomas J. Fiscus. General Fiscus received nonjudicial punishment under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for conduct unbecoming an officer, fraternization, obstruction of justice and violating a lawful general regulation. As a result of these offenses, General Fiscus was reprimanded and given forfeitures of pay.

In addition, General Cook recommended to Air Force Secretary Dr. James G. Roche that General Fiscus retire in a grade lower than major general. General Cook also recommended the investigation into these offenses be referred for appropriate action to Air Force officials charged with overseeing the Judge Advocate Professional Rules of Conduct and the designation and certification of Air Force lawyers.

Secretary Roche and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John P. Jumper transferred this matter to General Cook to ensure the full range of administrative and disciplinary options available to a commander would be considered in determining an appropriate resolution of the case. This put the decision in the hands of a four-star general with 35 years of military service.

General Fiscus held the Air Force’s top military legal position as the Judge Advocate General from Feb. 25, 2002, until Sept. 22, 2004, when he was relieved pending the resolution of the allegations against him.

We expect the same from our leaders.

Do you think he got the same treatment as this Spec4?

The previous post was in response to #508.

RightOnline's self righteousness kind of perturbs me when the lead Lawyer for the USAF did worse and got less punishment.

You do realize they were taking away a pay grade don't you?

I'd say they were holding him pretty accountable. General Fiscus was reprimanded and given forfeitures of pay also.

So what is your point?

Perhaps I'm missing something here. Thanks

Axes: I'm a former enlisted and a current officer. The phrase "here ya go Mr Ring-Knocker" was disrespectfull and childish. The specialist got knocked down to PFC and the General lost a star. Who do you think lost more monthly pay?!?!?
What was your service again???? How far did you progress???

Look slick.........save your lame sarcasm. You miss the point, so instead of publicly embarrassing yourself, why don't you scroll back up, try READING, and then come to talk to me, ok son?

Oh..and BTW.......my Dad was enlisted AF 20 years; my mother was enlisted Army, my older brother was enlisted Navy, my younger brother was enlisted AF, my oldest son was enlisted Army before going ROTC to get his commission.....and my wife was enlisted AF.

So SPARE me your put-upon-by-an-officer bullshit.
