I've recently discovered that my husband has been unfaithful with another married woman. I know that 2 of his Marine Crop buddies helped him commit the act (intentionally providing the place and items necessary) They are all Marines and I would like to know exactly what sort of trouble they're facing should the truth be uncovered.

You husband faces nonjudicial punishment in an Article 87 hearing, should the deed be discovered and he be charged with the act. And if convicted, he faces 45/45/half for two and a bust (45 days confinement to base, 45 days extra duty, forfeiture of half his pay for two months, and a reduction in rank). Good luck, sweetie. Might be time to get rid of him.

The Marines are supposed to have a very high moral standards code but proving this allegation may be quite hard and they may not be willing to put the time and energy into it (after all they will all cover for each other) but if I were you I would at least report it to whoever is the highest ranking officer you know of. And then, I would file for divorce with adultery as the cause for the divorce. So much for the Marines being so wonderful, huh? Good luck and God Bless.

Depends on you and his company commander. If you press it and the commander wants to make an example of him he could be out of the marines so fast your head would spin.
If you push it and the company commander feels this was a one time thing and it won't happen again he may only get some extra duty.

As a former United States Marine myself, and very proud of it, I would personally like to offer you my apologies, on their behalf. I am truly sorry!! Infidelity is not smiled upon, or taken lightly, in the Marine Corps. They have brought dishonor to our beloved tradition of "Semper Fidelis".....ALWAYS Faithful! I terribly regret their actions, and as a man, you have my sincere condolences for the hurt you're feeling!

Um, probably nothing. Anyways what good does it do to get him trouble with his chain of command ? At most he'd probably get an Article 32 hearing and conduct unbecoming a Marine. All that means is that he might get a general discharge.
Unless this was with one of HIS soldiers under HIS command or the act took place in his place of duty (not in someone's quarters or off base), the JAG is VERY unlikely to even pursue the issue. They have much more improtant issues (especially durring wartime) to worry about besides a gilted wife.
I'd say divorce him if you want, or try to work it out - whichever works for you. But I thing you're wasting your time / energy trying to get him in trouble at his work.
Even if you DO manage to get him in trouble, WHY would you want to. If you divorce him and he gets discharged, then you are likely to get less in support (child support / alimony) because now he's unemployed.
Beside's it would take he and his buddies ratting each other out to get themselves in trouble - not likely to happen.
I'm sorry this has happened to you - but you need to concentrate on your next move in the relationship and focus on how to move on with your life. Going after the pound of flesh is going to take WAY too much energy and time to be worth the satisfaction of getting it.
Best of luck to you.

Bad Conduct Discharge.

Discharge for infidelity during a time of war?
You have to be kidding me.
I would think it is more likely he will punish with extra work details and reduction in rank, but nothing really beyond that.
