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.
Hell probably draw an Article 15 (nonjudicial punishment) and be administratively discharges.
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.
Burn in Hades, Cal Cunningham!
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...
There is the suggestion out there that the woman and her husband were separated. I dont 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”.
