If a reserve soldier recieves a ticket in the civilian life how will it affect his/her promotion in the Military.
The ticket was an MIP (minor in possesion of alcohol) If he/she meets all of the court's requirements can it affect the serviceperson's Military promotion? Does the Military even need to be told?

Yes it can. Most time a soldier is issued and Article 15 and if it they have prior counseling statements in their file that are relatively recent, they can lose a rank. They need to tell their commander immediately. They will most likely have to begin counseling for alcohol usage. In addition, if the charge sticks on their record, it can hold them back due to losing security clearance for a while until they can prove themselves again.

Yes it will absolutly effect the person. Most underage drinking results in an Article 15 proceding, and if the member was pulled over in an automobile and given a DUI/DWI it can get even worse. He/She doesn't even want to think about what will happen to them if they decide to hide this information from their command and their 1st Sgt or Commander finds out about it later. You can pretty much count on being Dishonorably discharged and having your wages garnished...possibly even some confinement. The best thing to do is to present the command with the ticket/citation and a memorandum with an explanation and a plan to make up for your indescretion.

I know from when I was in that the Navy had little tolerance for MIP. They're going to find out sooner or later, it's not hard. Tell the truth, suck it up, take it like a soldier. Better to show that you accept the consequences of your actions than be found to have been hiding them for awhile.

Ah, the issue regarding whether or not to tell the commander. A veritable sticky wicket. Been there, didn't enjoy it, because I didn't tell him but he found out anyway. Then I was in the shitt. Had to go to up the chain of command, explain my actions and write an apology to each one for my failure to tell the truth. And it reflected poorly in my PR.
You're going to take a hit if you tell, but an even bigger one if you don't and they subsequently find out.
I suggest the harder road - tell them. It's better to have a problem and be honest about it than for them to find out and not trust you. Plus you'll not lose any sleep worrying about them finding out.
Good luck.

militia... considering you kill yet somebody else in elementary, for the period of elementary training, on a militia base. you won't have the ability to be tried in the two a militia court docket and a civilian court docket for the comparable crime, yet civilian courts have civil suits and in case you're got here upon to blame (or perhaps no longer to blame) by militia tribunal you ought to circulate to a civilian court docket for a civil regulation suit. yet there are in straightforward terms particular crimes that militia courts will pay attention - they contain violation of militia regulations. homicide is one. yet, say you get a DUI or right into a combat at a bar, you wont circulate to a militia court docket for that - you ought to get disciplined at artwork, yet you wont circulate to mil court docket.

Yes it can and they don't know everything that happens but but the soldier might be asked. He/she should tell the truth.
