I got told after HBL the commander was putting in paperwork for a chapter for a company grade article 15.
I went to speak with him he said it was for adultery. Nothing else.
This is the only trouble I’ve ever been in was a company grade , didn’t loose rank.
I now have my part 1/2 and EHB appointments scheduled. The commander won’t speak directly to me or tell me what the chapter is for.
My 1SG said I need to be enrolled in sfl tap, turn in cif gear, etc outprocess.
I still to this day have no idea what this chapter is for, how to approach it legally or anything. It’s like they’re getting me basically ready to chapter then hit me with the paperwork last minute.
Is this the order of all the steps? I have no counseling for the chapter, no code, nothing. But I must be going to all these appointments and turning in my gear.
It’s a really stressful situation as I have 3 years remaining of contract.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If your Commander and 1SG won’t talk with you about it, go see TDS and if necessary your CSM and/or Battalion Commander. If that doesn’t work you could consider the IG but give your chain of command the opportunity to address this first.

They may not be discussing it because the packet is out at the CJA being prepared. Until they have it back, get the run down from the CJA, there is not much they can say. Depending on the CJA or centralized legal office doing it, there may be a delay. Just sounds like to me that they initiated the action and the 1SG is short tracking the out processing knowing he'll have an approved packet.

Those Soldiers that violate Article 134 for adultery can face administrative disciplinary action and/or administrative separation. Also, it sounds like the Chapter process has just begun and so you will get counselled on this. The reason being is that if you are not, and also not given the opportunity to seek counsel, then the packet will be rejected and sent back down to the Company level to re-start the process.
