“I represent you and the government, do you understand?” Yes, I’m screwed. 😂

[@kenconnelly773]

That’s the game. You don’t have any real due process rights until you hit the special court martial level, and you can refuse the summary proceeding. The trade off is in order to get your rights you raise the stakes tremendously. Summary can only give you a month in the brig, special can give up to a year along with pay forfeitures

Ah, the old training films; you expect Dorothy and Toto to pop in any minute.

[@Trek001]

If the offence happened on the 17th of March, how could the court martial be ordered on February 4th?

[@Anonymous______________]

Let's begin at the beginning... Where else would one begin?

[@toddsterben6647]

Court's martial for that? We would have lost most of the crew on the ship I was on...

[@mackenshaw8169]

Ah, March 17. A St Paddy's day bender no doubt.

[@milesconerly5818]

Even in the post-war Navy, a Seaman with 1 service stripe (indicates 4-7 years in service) ahows that the sailor might not be a "team player". I recognize I could be wrong.

[@ernesthofmeister3054]

Jeez, everyone would have been charged in Subic Bay back in the 70's

what a blue falcon

[@Agent1W]

Duran makes me think of Cole Phelps...

[@edwardarruda7215]

no court recorder?

[@kd0r]

In the case of a Summary Court, at least in the late '80s, the proceeding was very much as shown. No recorder, though there is no recorder for an Article 15, aka Captain's Mast either, no Master at Arms, no one except the officer of the court and the accused and such witnesses as are required. Having been the officer of the court once, that's one lonely feeling job.

Kinda ironic that a guy smoking a cigarette on a boat determines the punishment of a guy who can't hold his liquor on the same boat.

[@bubbajones6907]

Adam Goatfish How?

[@parrot849]

I'm not sure I see your point? They are two totally different things.

[@JuanAdam12]

Damian Flynn They are both indicators of human frailty and/addiction in an environment that demands discipline. Sure, smoking was acceptable, but when you think about it (when I do, at least), it seems odd that one guy with an addiction is punishing another guy with an addiction in a place where neither "should" be allowed (quotes used because I'm not qualified to say with any authority).

[@paulmanson253]

Adam Goatfish Ah. A self righteous do gooder. Someone who smokes is someone who smokes. An addiction ? Yes. A man who drinks past the point he has a blackout,becoming quite possibly dangerous to his shipmates or the ship,a crowded place full of machinery that has to be worked with discipline and care. Yelling and needing forcible confinement till sober. Record of previous misconduct

[@JuanAdam12]

paul manson Yes. I understand all that. But that isn't my point. I'm not looking for argument. I was just making an observation.

[@ajblack2410]

Only 25 dollars that’s really leant why didn’t they make him lose more money or better yet just sentence him to death for treason during a time of war

[@robertcruz6974]

Why? Fool, $25.00 is like $500.00 today.

[@alkazar625]

Being drunk isn't treason

[@Acer_Maximinus]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@robertcruz6974 “Fool…like $500” More like half that, mow Ron.
