Lets say a inmate is to be released tomorrow, but the personnel at the brig just informed the inmate that he will be on probation, but they haven't found a probation officer yet, so until they do they can't release him on his official release date. Can that happen, I always thought that they can't keep you after your release date if you have served your time.

The military can hold a person indefinitely on, what is refereed to as a "Legal Hold". A "Legal Hold" is a period when a member of the military has unresolved legal issues.

Yes, they can do this, because the brig commander would be held liable for any misconduct of the prisoner after release since that prisoner would still be listed under the supervision of said commander. Not to mention the bad PR that would happen between the Navy/Marine Corpsand the civilian populace if an incident occurred off of the installation while technically on parole yet not yet supposed to be released until a parole officer could be reached so that terms of parole and supervisory visits, etc. could be established. There are various other legal issues that are involved in this that I dont know...but that is some of an answer for you.

The military doesn't do parole or probation.
Also if the offence isn't serious enough to warrant discharge then that time is classed as "non-effective service" and has to be made up to the army in service after release from the can.

In the US military if you are arrested, tried and convicted. You will server your sentence as a private. It doesn't matter what your rank was when you were convicted, you are now a private. While serving your time in prison, it takes no time off of your military contract. So if you enlist for 6 years, and a year into your enlistment you are arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. When your prison time is done. You still have 5 years left to serve on your military contract.
