Military discharge?

Question

Ok today NASA fired that Lisa Nowak and now she is going to Corpus Christi to continue her service in the Navy. I thought if you had any criminal actions or did kind of bad stuff while serving the country that you could get a dishonorable discharge. I don't get it the Navy will let her continue service work but a couple months back a San Antonio Navy lady posed in playboy with her uniform and they gave her a dishonorable discharge. I think what the astronaut has done is worse of a crime on our nation then someone posing for playboy.

Answer 1

the San Antonio thing was air force and had not heard that she had got tossed out......If she did what a shame............

And yep got to agree with you, seems like wearing a diaper and driving across the country to kill someone is way worse than a few naughty pics........................

Answer 2

Actually the Air Force SSGT who posed in playboy received a general discharge and was administratively discharged.

You have to be court martialed to receive a dishonorable discharge.

Secondly, Lisa Nowak hasn't went to trial yet, The Navy will wait till the civilian trial is over, before they decide what actions to take.

Answer 3

NASA does not belong to DoD (Dept of Defense). The job of "astronaut" is a special rating, but is NOT in the DoD, let alone the US Navy. This was an additional duty. NASA released her from duty and she will return to her regular active duty Naval rating. Once she is back under control of the USN, and the charges have been worked out with the civilian authorities, she will be charged under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), for Conduct Unbecoming an Officer, Attempted Kidnapping, Assault Consumated by a Battery, Misuse of Government Equipment, Attempted Murder (maybe), and anything else they can think up.

It ain't over yet.

Answer 4

If she hadn't posed in uniform, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

I'm sure it won't be long before the astronaut is dishonorably discharged from the Navy. Everything doesn't happen all at once. I imagine she had to be released from NASA first and now that's overwith, the Navy will do what they need to do. One thing at a time type of thing.

Answer 5

The AF SSgt was a Air National Guard member on active duty. The active AF released her back to her permanent unit and they gave her an Article 15 and demoted her to Senior Airman (E-4) and she chose to resign from the Guard.

The astronaut was released from NASA back to the Navy. If convicted in a civilian court she will be discharged from the Navy. Or she may be turned over to face charges in a Naval court.

Answer 6

She will be court marshaled eventually. Adultery is a violation on the UCMJ (Uniformed Code of Military Justice). The Navy might wait for the media attention to die down, but she will be dishonorably discharged. A soldier under my command committed adultery and the proceedings took almost 4 months.

Answer 7

Uh.... Since she hasn't been convicted yet she hasn't been punished yet either. I had a mechanic in our motor pool that was working on our vehicles until a couple of days before he was convicted in his murder trial. For his little extra-curricular activities he got 10 years in the civilian prison system. During that time he was still in the Army but demoted and with suspended pay. After his time in prison ends he will still be subject to UCMJ action. (For those of you who think double jeapordy applies to you in uniform think again). Most likely he will just be given a dishonorable discharge.

Answer 8

It relatively relies upon on what sort of discharge you won. If it became right into a ordinary discharge as a results of undesirable wellbeing or harm, that isn't undesirable. Any enterprise that looks into to hiring you will examine your social risk-free practices selection and discover out what they decide directly to be certain. you mustn't be frightened of that till... You won a ordinary discharge as a results of "the lack to evolve to militia criteria", you have gotten a undertaking because of the fact varied questions will upward push up like "if he can no longer hack it interior the militia, why ought to I hire him". issues like that. in case you won a dishonorable discharge, you're no longer sitting especially. that may be like having a criminal on your police record. it ought to harm your possibilities of having a competent activity. in spite of the actuality that the enterprise which you're utilizing for will by no ability inform you why they did no longer hire you, that's possibly the final guess on why you probably did no longer get the activity. i'm no longer attempting to scare you, yet enable you recognize on what can impression your possibilities with employment. I had won an honorable discharge it took an prolonged time for me to get a competent activity when I left the militia. save your head up. i'm particular which you will have the skill to get well in case your record isn't that super.

Answer 9

Your tax dollars at work. My husband works at NAS CC. This should be instresting to watch and see what happens. The reason why the Air Force officer got discharged is because her subordinates could see the pics. That can create a lot of problems. As for the looney toon from NASA... who knows maybe they are doing some investigating before they discharge her. Hopefully she will get discharged, i wouldn't listen to her.

Answer 10

her continued naval service will probably consist of doing all of the paper work necessary to transfer her to naval reserves, then she probably has some brig time to do. during that time she'll technically be in the reserves, but she'll be behind bars. i don't think NASA can prosecute her under the uniform code of military justice, i may be wrong. I'm pretty sure the navy well have to do that

Answer 11

What she did was no worse than a ugly bar room brawl. It however is not behavior that NASA will tolerate. Posing nude in her uniform is against the rules and will get you thrown out. She defamed Government property.
