Total forfeiture of pay, allowances, accrued benefits, etc. Although technically still a member of the armed forces while in confinement, he won't draw any pay, and he won't be eligible for any veteran benefits.

IIRC, he will never be able to vote again either.

I am not a military lawyer, but my understanding is that it means no pay, no benefits, no military health care for his family, no pension.

Basically it means that the dude is not even an E-1. He loses every penny effective today. I wonder if he will at least get his 0-5 pay for the full day today or will they cut it off at the time of sentence. This guy lost EVERYTHING. Even his wife was not in the court. Not sure what that was about.
