Racist Drill Sergeant who bullied black man to leave neighborhood arrested

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

43. He isn't a Marine...he is in the Army

I was Air Force, but Non Judicial Punishment or Progressive Discipline is probably similar...this is what I see happening....he probably has a Commander who is a 05/Lt Col...that’s going to be the person to decide his punishment while being advised by the local JAG....since this is high vis and the 05 can have the decision pulled from him, he is probably going to take JAG’s advice....I see either an Article 15 or an LOR, with a loss of rank and forfeiture of pay for a few months, also he will be removed from being a drill sergeant ...he will also have an Unfavorable Information File...all this won’t get him a dishonorable discharge, but he will basically be screwed when his enlistment contract is up and won’t be able to re-enlist...so if his current contract doesn’t get him to 20 year, then he won’t be able to retire....he will get out probably with an honorable discharge, but just threw away all those years and won’t get the retirement benefits

Edit - I think the captain’s mast is a similar process to what I laid out where the Commanding Officer, in that case a Captain (Navy 06), hands out the punishment.
