I will try to ask this as respectfully as possible. If this is the wrong forum for this question, please let me know and I will withdraw it.
I am the next of kin of a deceased US Navy retiree. Without giving unecessary details, I was told recently by a family member that he had been imprisoned while in the military and had been demoted. I am trying to research if this information is accurate, but as of yet have not been able to attain the records. From the information I do have (enlistment, re-enlistment and discharge records), it appears as though he received the ranking of BM3 in 1952, then again was given a ranking of BM3 in 1959. I have no record of him having any other ranking until 3 years later when he received a rank of BM2 and then retired as a BM1 after 20 years of service. On all of his re-enlistment records his character of service was honorable.
What is the liklihood that one would retain the ranking of BM3 for 10 years without demotion?
Thank you for your time
