And he does not have a commission. Holding enlisted to a rule designed for officers means that the brass are simply covering their own asses. If he is guilty of anything it is not obeying a direct order, for which he should be punished. That said, he has a limited right that he abused, acting more like a rebellious high school student than a marine.
I didn’t say he was commissioned, that was somebody else.
Article 88 would not apply to him. Article 134 would, though.
Those of us who put in 20+ years in the military, especially those of us who had both enlisted and commissioned time, will see this a bit differently than your average FReeper. We’ve been inside, so we have a bit more clarity on the issue.
Not a criticism, just an observation.
