His pay will also be stayed until he is finally released from navy scapegoat jail. At which point he will be hit for taxes as if that sudden onetime payout had been his yearly income during the whole period.

If you wouldn’t mind- could you share with us what happened? I sat on a court martial jury once, and was a witness in 2 other unrelated courts martial. Did you beat the charges? Use a private attorney? JAG? I’m not looking to judge or anything man, I just get fascinated by the legal side of military things sometimes just because of a few unique experiences I had. Anyway, thanks!

Oh man, is the Military "justice" system completely contrived bullshit, devoid of any of the rights or protections of the ordinary and still super lovely normal American justice system? This is upsetting news if so.

Sat in the brig for almost 13 months waiting for trial, mostly due to COVID loving up my first trial date, and took a misdemeanor plea deal for one and went to trial and was found not guilty of my second charge. My dad works for a law firm so the partners in that firm actually spoke and worked with my lawyers to come up with a plan but my dad’s firm believed my JAGs were actually competent so we let them defend me which turned out well. Basically just tried to visualize myself on deployment and enjoyed my big chunk of cash I saved up when I got out the brig and out the Navy when I hit my EAOS a few weeks later.

I don't think the Navy could not have a court martial if there is any indication that it might be arson according to NCIS and ATF. That would (and may still) become some sort conspiracy meme for years. If the ProPub article is accurate, I suspect the whole trial is going to result in a frustrating, inconclusive acquittal instead of an easy yes or no.

Ugh my ship is such a loving joke. I come in this morning to find: On every quick-acting water-tight door on the main deck. This is where we're at. Something everybody already knows, that some people are just too loving lazy to do, and instead of just having the LPOs or whomever put it out at quarters, we hang signs like we're in loving kindergarten. So loving stupid.

orange juche posted:yes I wholly support a two-piece uniform, never been a fan of carefully rolling up my coveralls to poop. Flame retardant coveralls were a great idea, the latest version also serves as 12 cal/cm² arc flash gear, just in general the newest FRVs are decent. The first generation though Holy loving poo poo what a disaster, those pieces of poo poo would tear if you looked at them wrong, coming off our first deployment with them we looked like we had been in a Russian POW camp, our coveralls were in rags, we never got new ones, and for unrelated reasons we spent two months on an average of 1,000 calories a day, so they didn't fit anyone correctly. My ERUL had kept his sleeves rolled on his main poopy all deployment, when we started transiting the Atlantic we started running drills and he had to roll the sleeves down, up to 75% of the material at each crease was missing, in a perfect razor-sharp line. What I'm saying is that no matter how flame resistant the fabric, it's probably not very effective if there's giant holes in it and supply never orders you new ones. Unrelated, I've relaxed my "uniform policy" that I set for myself at my job, and I've started wearing a lovely themed t-shirt on Fridays instead of my normal short-sleeve button down work shirt. And I'm glad this thread exists to remind me how happy I am to be a civilian.

Look, just because both reefer plants broke and all the meat rotted doesn't mean we can pull off (a relatively unimportant) mission. Anyways, here's your half scoop of powdered eggs, our only protein source left, you'll get another after your 8 hour watch, don't worry. Also "third mealing" is prohibited, don't even try it.

I will say the cooks learned from that, our next deployment we had a crazy 119 day mission, and there was so much shelf-stable food crammed in every nook and cranny that you could still get a full plate of death pillows and a heaping pile of rice even at the end. There was probably an additional 30 days of food onboard at the end of that mission, and another 30 squirreled away in racks and pookas from all the dudes who had some serious issues from the previous deployment.
