I thought one had to be active for the UCMJ to apply...I’m confused.
That was my assumption also.
It’s different for commissioned officers. Unless he resigned his commission and turned in his flag he’s still inactive reserve at the least. Once an officer-—always an officer and the UCMJ applies in limited ways. In this case the chick is still a reserve officer also-—double jeopardy so to speak. But they are talking about things that may have happened while he was still active——and there is no statute of limitations. If he broke a rule under UCMJ but it wasn’t discovered while he was active he doesn’t get a free pass by retiring. The boy seems to be in trouble especially since he’s got a big-mouthed ex girl friend.-——————————————SEMPER FI
