Admirals Mast or Captains Mast? I didn’t know there was an Admirals Mast. One thing about a Captains Mast is that the, so called victim, could file suit in civilian court after the Captains Mast. That is my understanding. In a Court Martial, the Seals can’t be brought to court again by anyone. It would be considered double jepordy (sp?).

I read Admiral’s mast, but I have to be honest with you, it’s the first time I’ve heard the term also. I suppose that would be either the CinC for the theater, or perhaps the Top SEAL himself?

[BIGLOOK]

The SEALs were offered nonjudicial punishment, but supposedly refused. The convening authority, Maj Gen Charles Cleveland (commander of Special Operations Command Central) , signed off on sending them to a court martial. He made the final call.

(from a previous thread)

Looking further into this, Maj Gen Cleveland has convened an Article 32 investigation for a Special Courts Martial. From a reliable authority, the Article 32 determines whether to proceed or dismiss based on the merits of the case.

This just may go away shortly.
