SO much for Officers being held to a higher standard. Of course its always whats more convenient for the service at the time.
He, being a Chief and tarnishing the reputation of an organization that I am a member, should have known better.
Sorry, Chief. You screwed the pooch (no pun intended), now you gotta deal with it.
Good times on liberty and the prospects of an all nighter with the new butterbar?? He should have dismissed himself from that fun as soon as he knew where it might lead.
Her?? She is a woman in today's military. (Take from that what you want but please read every post on this thread first.) She was just more successfull at saving her ass than he was. Back in the day it was assured that something like this in your jacket would keep you from ever serving in a command role, but I am reminded almost daily, that I am from a different generation.
It would be interesting to know exactly when she claimed rape. Before or after the command found out.
No. Article 15's are Non-Judicial Punishment, punishment being the opposite of non-punitive. Article 15's for officers are as rare as green diamonds in today's Navy where it's promote or jettison. Officers are always offered the chance to resign before accepting NJP.
This is just a letter of caution, which falls below a letter of reprimand/admonition. It's like a memo from your boss to reduce your desk clutter.
