While I am not a lawyer, I did play one in the Navy when I was the legal officer of USS Charles F. Adams (DDG-2) from 1981-1984.

I have a hard time believing this because as I understood it, for an Officer in the US Navy to be Courts-Martialed and discharged under OTH conditions would require the Courts-Martial to be a General Courts-Martial...and the resulting conviction would be the equivalent of a federal conviction, and as such, would be the matter of public record.

Like I said, I'm not a lawyer (military or civilian) but if I'm wrong here, maybe someone with more military legal expertise can set me straight.

Having played a lawyer while in the Navy (which says much about lawyer intelligence) can you now go on FOX news as a "former federal prosecuter?
