Haha, you're a liberal to the core. Dude, get a life. How many people have you threatened? Let it drop and get drunk; it'll do us all good.

If you are in the States, you would handle it the same way you would handle it if some guy who worked for your average local business threatened you - if you felt it was a serious threat, you would contact the police. Depending on the circumstances, they could be talked to, detained, you could get a restraining order, any sort of things... Just like if they were anyone else.
This is not something that the military would take action on or get involved with. With the exception of the fact that if they were arrested, had a restraining order issued against them, etc, then their command would get involved and want to know why, and possibly take action against them at that point (whether in the form of their evals or something more severe...)
But honestly, and I don't mean this to sound harsh, but what do you really expect them to do? They can't run around investigating every case of someone saying someone said something to them or threatened them in some way - frankly, that's not their job - just like you wouldn't expect a policeman from your hometown to go and start digging foxholes and shooting at terrorists...

Basically, the first thing to do is to report it and ask assistance from the local authorities in your place, say the police or local political leaders in the area. However if they did not listen or they tend to be complacent on your complaint for whatever reasons, the next better thing to do is ask assistance from any group advocating Human Rights Violations, or from Non-government Organizations supporting victims of injustices. In any country, there are a lot of these groups. For sure, the next day after having told your complaint to them, the issue is already in the Media creating headache to your offenders. Don't be affraid, file the file the complaint, the group normally provides legal protections. Okey????

Do you turn in everyone who threatens you?
Some people just say stupid things when they are mad so my best advice is to let it go unless he or she does it again then contact the nearest base if you have the name of the person who threatened you

If this took place off base go to your local police, if on base do a report with the Military Police.

Well it depends on where you are?
Are you subject to military law? Then you speak with the Judge advocate.
Are you in the US? You speak with your local law enforcement.
Outside Us you would speak with civil affairs office.
For a more detailed answer you would have explain circumstances and where you are, and status you hold.

I think this comes under rule 7.62
If this doesn't work you could try the 'heavier' rule 105
