I have a question for you. Is the military swift in court-martialing someone, or does a case linger on for several years? For example, in a domestic battery case, can one expect to be court-martialed immediately, would it take months, or would it take years? Any idea?
TIA for your response.
There is swift justice in the military. For a simple case you'd expect a courts-martial to proceed within a couple of months.
I've never seen someone courts-martialed for simple domestic battery. At most you get a Letter of Reprimand or (rarely) an Article 15 for that. On a second or third offense, they'll typically just kick you out.
It would take a particularly heinous or vicious battery/attack for someone to actually be courts-martialed for domestic violence. DV is very, very common in the military and it's typically handled through the Family Advocacy Office (social workers) rather than the legal system. It's nice for the offenders because it leaves no court conviction record. That always irked me.
This map is awesome. Can you add 2211 Rose Blvd location to it please?

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I was trying to figure out if the person he committed domestic battery on was his wife Shannon. But the court-martial occurred in 2003, so it couldn't possibly be her since she died in April 2001. And it couldn't be Michelle Parker, because he hadn't met her yet I don't believe.
This all leads me to think it was someone ELSE whom he battered, but at this point we do not know who he was involved with (or possibly married to) in 2003.
Thanks again.
So if someone is convicted of an offense in the military, do they spend time in a military prison? And how tragic would it be if the spouse who is the victim of the domestic battery died a sudden death while staying with that person's family while waiting for their spouse to be released from a military prison and/or discharged from service altogether?
MOO
