Does anyone know the reasoning behind denying ccp to

[Trunk Monkey]

I was once told I could be charged for getting sun burned. Malingering and distruction of government property!

When I was stationed at Ft. Sam Houston a very fair skinned redhead friend of mine got a severe sunburn the day before she was supposed to take her final AIT PT test. The Cadre decided she did it to get out of the PT test (IDK why, she'd never failed one) and told her if she didn't take the test they'd give her an Article 15 for deliberately missing duty/ malingering. She took the test and passed.

Military law is a little strange, maybe outdated. You can lose so much for so little.

On the other hand, there are certain perks for what the military considers exemplary duty, i.e., winning a Medal of Honor.

The recipient of such a medal is always saluted first by any rank, officers included, regardless of the holders rank.

They are also relieved of paying federal income tax, forever. Not bad!

Right but an Arty15 isn’t close to a dishonorable.

You can get two Article 15's and still get an honorable discharge.

You can even get promoted early right after finishing one up.
