Do you agree/disagree that if DoD personnel gets in trouble that it should be posted for the public to view, I know the Navy does it online every month, I say its an effective deterrent at best. Others say its a privacy issue, if so why?
1. I think once you breach the public trust, then those rights went out the window. (The same as a convicted felon is not allowed to vote) Your thoughts?

Military justice should be swift, fair, consistent, and perhaps lean towards the lenient. Repeat violations and violators should be dealt with more harshly. I feel it should be at the Commander's discretion whether the infraction should be sealed or not. Public shame, for minor UCMJ infractions, likely degrades morale more than any general compliance gained.

Sir,
I going to have to disagree with your comment "Commanders discretion"...Because the Navy lists all of theirs at http://www.military.com and it has not degraded moral one bit, I would say that its an effective deterrent in that no one is above the UCMJ. At least for me. Besides does not the public (police stations, newspapers lists, even the FBI lists all of the wrong doings) just my thoughts sir.

Sir,
I have to concur with SFC Drake. When an Article 15 proceeding is posted on the board for the duration of the punishment that the individual has incurred, it very much so works as a deterrent. One of the dipstick checks of the effectiveness a command possesses...How Many Art 15's have been issued in the last 3 months? Commander's that don't issue any are someone that needs to be looked at very closely. Nobody is perfect but discipline is paramount and Commander's are charged to lead, not be the buddy or friend of their subordinates. Respectfully, I would state that my experience has proven your comment to not be accurate.
