The next time you feel the need to snap and send a pic of your unmentionables, I recommend thinking twice, especially if you are about to do so with a phone issued to you by Uncle Sam. It isn’t worth the punishment or the end of your military career. The cliff note summary here is if he or she looks to be under 18, don’t get involved with him or her. This offense is punishable by up to 20 years of confinement. It doesn’t matter if the minor consented to sex or if you did or did not know the minor was underage at the time of sex, you will be charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child under the UCMJ anyway.
And don’t count on the fact that you “didn’t know he/she was only 16” saving you from the wrath of military prosecutors. If you are caught having sex with a minor, you’ll receive much worse than that under the UCMJ. The last thing you want is a visit from “To Catch a Predator’s” Chris Hansen. No bender, no matter how epic, is worth this risk. The alleged victim’s lack of memory leads to an Article 120 charge and the alleged-person-who-did-the-assaulting’s lack of memory moves the charge forward with nothing to disprove a sexual assault occurred in the first place. As a result, it is common for service members to face Article 120 charges under the UCMJ for sexual assault, even when the alleged sexual assault victim does not remember consenting to sex or engaging in any sexual activity at all. The extreme consumption of booze is often tied to charges of sexual assault in the military. But UCMJ violations often appear when a lot of alcohol is mixed with a lot of sex. There’s nothing in the UCMJ that says service members can’t engage in consensual sex or enjoy alcohol responsibly. This is a violation of Article 92 of the UCMJ.ģ. Getting too drunk to remember what happened If you are caught using one drug, such as a diuretic, to hide your use of another drug, you could be charged with failure to obey a lawful regulation. This includes things like diuretics taken before a drug test in order to hide drug use. The Department of Defense (DoD) specifically disallows this in DoD Instruction 1010.04, which addresses “problematic substance use by DoD personnel.” The DoD says drug paraphernalia is anything involved in, meant to be involved in, or meant to hide drug use.

Military, you are not allowed to wrongfully possess, sell or use drugs or items used to take drugs (needles, syringes, crack pipes, etc). Ordering a company-wide urine test with the goal of catching one person using drugs is not allowed by the UCMJ.Īs a member of the U.S. A commander may want to conduct a company-wide urine test to catch one specific person using illegal drugs because they may not have the evidence needed to test this one person. Commanders need probable cause to order you to take a urine test, but not for a company-wide urine test. Illegal drug use violates Article 112a of the UCMJ and could cost you your military career.
Company-wide urine tests are allowed by the UCMJ, but you need to be on the lookout for commanders who order these inspections hoping to single out one specific person – perhaps you – for illegal drug use. Here are 10 ways servicemembers get themselves into big trouble most often:Īt one point or another, we have all likely been subjected to a “sweep urinalysis,” which tests an entire company for illegal drug use by way of urine samples. But, I’m willing to bet 60 days of rollover leave that most of them don’t have a good idea of how severe the consequences often are of violating the UCMJ. Servicemembers have all raised their right hands and sworn an oath to protect and defend this nation and its constitution and, by default, they have also agreed, for as long as they’re in uniform, to live according to the rules and regulations of the UCMJ.
