Given that he has *two* girlfriends can he be tried twice????

Having two girlfriends and a wife is the punishment...

received the Bronze Star for being a bad ass in a military courtroom in Iraq...

Unless the Bronze Star has the "V" for Valor, it's pretty much a Deployment Good Conduct medal for upper ranks

Unless the LTC was on active duty at the time, reservists are not subject to the UCMJ. If he was, he could be recalled to active duty and prosecuted under UCMJ.

“ Good to see you address him as “Mister”...something tells me his days as an Army officer are numbered. ”

Warrant officers are addressed as Mr. is he an officer or a warrant officer?

"That’s what I was telling people earlier. The military takes an especially dim view of officers who pork the wives of enlisted men. That is pretty much always a dishonorable discharge."

True, but he's a drilling (pun intended) Reservist, so whether or not UCMJ applies to his adulteries will depend on his duty status at the time of the offenses.

If he was laying pipe when he was supposed to be drilling that's a problem, but if he wasn't drilling when when he was doing his plowing the military may not be able to do much with regards to UCMJ.

Hi.

There’s an old Army saying that applies here. Actually to any work place...

Don’t stick your dick where you eat your lunch.

Sorry.

if there’s no chain of command conflict, adultery is often not pursued, there’s a lot of commander’s discretion in what gets pursued in the UCMJ. Also, if he’s a reservist, things get a little more difficult to determine because the UCMJ may not apply if the officer was not on duty status, whereas active duty personnel are always on duty.

That said, barracks lawyers aren’t looking into this, actual JAGs are, and despite the name, there is nothing “Uniform” in the UCMJ. There’s really no way to know for sure what happens until it does because a politically connected officer plays by a different set of rules than an insurance agent who suits up as a buck sergeant one weekend a month.

I’m not sure that I have the right person, but I think Arlene Guzman Todd’s husband got commissioned before his retirement. I don’t think this will go well for Lt. Col. Cunningham.

Guessing that once you find out that you're likely not making full colonel you might start with the extracurricular activities? That's the rank at which you complete your 20.

There were a number of officers in my Guard unit screwing around on their wives, sometimes with enlisted personnel or enlisted wives. One Colonel got caught just before he was going to put on his star. He was relieved of command and sent out the door.

Oh, does that mean he is a democrat? Because I didn’t see anything about party affiliation in the posted excerpt. :)
