Refusal of an order does not result in automatic jail time. The military tribunal will consider the totality of the circumstances, the reasonablenss of the order given to you and your justifications for refusal.

Not sure about jail time, but there definitely would be confinement to quarters until it is adjudicated and resolved.
Also, as I learned when I was in, it is not a 'right' to DISobey an illegal order, it is one's military duty to do so. It is also one's military duty to understand what is and isn't an illegal order. Obeying an illegal order is a punishable offense.
[sheesh - I really screwed the pooch on this - I meant DISobey]

Not the brig, but relieved of duty and confined. But even if it is jail time would you rather just blindly follow orders? If so, I'd like to introduce you to Lt. Cally. (hope I spelled that right)

there is a code of conduct... you can legal get away with not following an order if it is not moral... such as..
you are standing guard and someone runs by you and a officer yells KILL THAT MAN!!
you can and should refuse that order... you should chase him down... but not kill him.. you have no reason to...
this would be ok...
