Sometimes, you just have to reach a bit far.

Second tour ‘Nam. UCMJ defendants could ask any officer to be their defense counsel.

One of my 11ACR E-7s got busted for “frolicking” in the nude with a local bar girl on a fire escape of the Rex Hotel.

I got him off (from a very cool Trial Board of combat officers, not some REMFs) under a 1888 Army Regulation, never repealed, that allowed “Officers and Senior Non-Commissioned Officers not be wearing a standard Army uniform, but to be attired in a uniform commensurate with the sport in which they are engaged.”

One of the LTCs on the Board later bought me a drink, not for winning the case, but making my argument with a straight face.

Sleep well.
