An Airman First Class (A1C) would not leave an off base residence and was involved in a domestic dispute. Civilian authorities responded to the incident and charged the member with trespassing, 3rd degree assault, and obstruction. The A1C was also in violation of a 72-hour quarters order and also consumed alcohol while underage. Local authorities retained jurisdiction for the domestic charges. The commander determined the A1C violated Articles 92 and 134 of the UCMJ, and imposed the following punishment: Reduction to Airman Basic; forfeiture of $916.00 pay, suspended for six months; 30 days restriction to base; and a reprimand. #keepyourcool #angerandalcoholdon’tmix

Administrative Discharges
*Administrative Discharges resulting from misconduct, including drug abuse, almost always result in a loss of some veteran benefits, specifically education benefits like the GI Bill. A discharge characterization that is not Honorable, may also limit future employment opportunities*
An Airman Basic (AB) received two non-judicial punishments (NJP), both for controlling a vehicle while drunk or otherwise impaired by alcohol. The AB was separated for pattern of misconduct, conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline with under honorable conditions (General) service characterization. #didn’tlearnthefirsttime
An Amn made statements indicating they falsified their enlistment documents. As a result, the Amn received a command level LOR and an unfavorable information file (UIF). The information omitted in the enlistment documents may have precluded the member from entering active duty and would have precluded them from attaining their Air Force specialty code (AFSC). The Amn was separated for fraudulent entry with under honorable conditions (General) service characterization. #behonestinthefirstplace
An AB received two letters of counseling (LOC), three letters of reprimand (LOR), a UIF, and two NJPs. The AB’s unit tried to correct behavior such as; possession of a cell phone in the weapons storage area (WSA), failing to report to prescribed place of duty at the prescribed time, reporting for duty while experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, failing to remain at an assigned post, and willfully failing to refrain from consuming alcohol under the legal age of 21. The AB was separated for minor disciplinary infractions with under honorable conditions (General) service characterization. #shapeuporgetshippedout
One A1C & two Amn willfully refused to follow two written orders from their commanders to receive the mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine. For the misconduct, they received LORs from their commander and group commander and one had previously received one LOC and LOR for other misconduct. All three were separated for minor disciplinary infractions with under honorable conditions (General) service characterizations. #inthemilitarywefolloworders
Court-Martial Convictions
United States v. Airman Basic Micah D. Pace

AB Pace was pulled over after making a turn without using his turn signal, weaving in and out of traffic, and stopping without cause in the traffic lane.

This was not AB Pace’s first alcohol related incident. At a Special Court-Martial by Military Judge Alone, AB Pace pled guilty to violating Articles 89, 91 and 113 of the UCMJ and, pursuant to a plea agreement, was sentenced to 14 days confinement, forfeiture of $500 pay per month for two months, and a reprimand. #DUIscangetyoujailtime #lucktobealive
