Yes. For further clarification, ask to speak to your local Legal (JAG) office, and research your regulations.

They may be waiting to see if you straighten out or not before giving you the Article 15 but yes they can wait that long.
However you will have the opportunity to consult with the Area Defense Counsel before accepting or rejecting it. If you reject the NJP, you'll be electing a court martial, which, if you are found guilty, results in much harsher punishment.
From my experience from my days of being the NCOIC of a Correctional Custody facility, I'd say if you did it, take the NJP and save yourself a world of bad news.

Yes the Marine Corps can delay punishment. There is no marine corps. Understand proper respect for our Corps. Speak with your Company 1st Sgt and ask if you may atone for your mistake, as in voluntary extra punitive duty with out the Article 15. He may appreciate your handling the problem like a Marine, you owning your screw up and wanting to pay for it and not have a permanent blemish in your SRB.

Not sure I believe this - for a number of reasons: - there is no such thing a paper that you sign stating you are aware of receiving NJP - from your timeline, his alleged NJP incident happened before this past February - he would have long since received his NJP by now - you don;t have any proof of adultery, only that he is thinking about it; adultery requires some sort of consummation As it appears that your husband is more or less a criminal, his indebtedness, possible criminal activity, and NJP are clearly ruining his career for him - I don't think that you need to worry about his career. But... as I said, not really sure I believe you in the first place.

The Delayed Punishment Program?? I like it!. Gives you time to contemplate, reflect, be worried, etc etc etc.
Kinda makes you want to behave don't it? Maybe he is waiting for you to get promoted so the Art. 15 digs into your pockets just a bit more.
Had a Platoon Sargeant in AIT that loved ranting at us with 2 lines.
"I will burnnn yur yououng Merican ***!"
"Yur pahkets will not be a janglen nomo!!"
Came across better in person!
Can't think of anything in the UCMJ placing a time limit on an Art. 15.
I would not be bringing attention to myself at this time.

The UCMJ answers your question. Go to the JAG office and ask to be able to read Article 15. While you are there you have the right to ask for an attorney to help you understand your rights.

start painting plenty of rocks in front of HQS and plan on staying on base for a few months!
make this your wake-up call! straighten up and act like a Marine!
if you screw up again, you will find yourself a civilian with a BCD!
