Wow. I have an AR15-2, and it's fun to shoot, but can't imagine shooting an AR15-6.
Burn in Hades, Cal Cunningham!

GREENSBORO, N.C. - With the confirmation the Army Reserve is investigating matters involving U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham, 2 Wants To Know is taking a closer look at the process is and what kinds of disciplinary action could be at stake.
Cunningham is a Lt. Colonel in the Army Reserves. He is currently assigned to the 134 Legal Operations Detachment based at Fort Bragg.
Cunningham is accused of having an affair with the wife of a combat veteran. Several texts between the two have been made public.
Bill Cassara is a military law attorney. He explained the military investigation process:
“The AR15-6 investigation is fairly common. The investigating officer will collect evidence like texts or pictures, talk to people. Cal Cunningham will be given a chance to talk if he wants to, but doesn't have to”.
The investigator will then complete the investigation and hand it off to the next highest level commander who will determine what if any sanctions will take place.
“In any military disciplinary matter, there are two separate tracks a case can take. There's the UCMJ action which is a court-martial and there are administrative actions such as letters of reprimand, and administrative separation from the military,” said Cassara.

Let's just call it 'active drilling status duty'.
Since it involves an enlisted man’s wife and he is an officer I doubt if it makes any difference.
I’m thinking that his commander will want his balls on a china plate in the middle of the mess hall for all to see.
1980s...no one would care.
At the end of the 1990s...your sexual escapades became a court-martial activity. If he and the woman were both officers, and single...nothing would happen. In this case, I don’t see him getting off the hook. Probably loses his rank, and pays some fine.
Sad thing for him is that if he’d just had a plain relationship with some college girl...none of this would amount to anything.
He’ll probably draw an Article 15 (nonjudicial punishment) and be administratively discharges.
*discharged.
As a light col, he is drawing pay from my taxes, and receives access to the best medical treatment {Walter Reed, etc.} and this dirt bag knows that boffing an enlisted man's wife is a military no-no.
If he were to go into real combat, he'd learn about Viet Nam fragging {not that it started there, but it more openly disclosed in Nam}.
Cal is a moral degenerate.
He owes NC voters an explanation.
Drilling status and active duty are different. One point I would make is that a commissioned officer does NOT remove his or her commission with their uniform - Even if the officer is not on any active status, they are still an officer.
I am not a lawyer, but I do know that different sets of regulations apply for a member of the National Guard if they are off duty, at weekend drill, at Annual Training or on active duty (for extended training or other service).
Wow. I have an AR15-2, and it's fun to shoot, but can't imagine shooting an AR15-6.

I wonder if the investigation will include the second mistress? The one that has been ongoing since 2012? The one that was pissed off when she found out about the current one...
I’m not sure if those text prove sex. At a trial I’m sure his lawyer will say they were joking around.
His other girl friend said that they had sex at his home in his wife's bed.
Regardless, screwing around with a military man's wife, whether your are boffing or just talking about boffing is verboten.
I was not married during my time in the Army, and I was not an officer, so my boffing officer's wives meant that if I got caught I'd only get shot two or three times:)
There is the suggestion out there that the woman and her husband were separated. I don’t think that would make a difference as there were/are still married.
We will see if the Army actually cares about adultery between an officer and the wife of an enlisted man.
End the discussion.
If he did not do it on active duty or in the exercise of his military duties under Title 32 he has no military liability.
His only danger is in the civil laws of North Carolina (never enforced anymore) or the court of public opinion.
I keep reading that he hurt “his family and his friends”.
Has he yet apologized to the serviceman whose wife he slept with?
Has he apologized to her for the damage he caused to HER relationship?
Those are the people he hurt, not “his friends”.
