This is a follow up to something that was posted here on RP a few months ago (that I can't find thanks to the less then friendly search function).
Quick back story: As an E6 the member was convicted and serviced 14 days of a 6 month sentence which normally should have ended his career at that point for "missed time" unless the unit commander does a waiver. There is no waiver in is record. This could be an administrative oversight and not directly the members faults. A few months after being released from jail he picked up E7, and within 7 years he had picked up E9.
He was "caught" because someone the knew of the incident as a E6 seen him deployed as an E9 an filed a complaint.
He will retire as an E8 not because he is being demoted, but because he wont have enough TIG to retire as an E9.
While the probe found Soluri did not hide his conviction, it did uncover misconduct for which the chief was disciplined administratively on Jan. 13, McKenna said. "That statute of limitations precluded the Air Force from considering action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Privacy Act precludes further comment by the Air Force."

So RP is his retirement as an E8 Fair?

Personally, he should take anything above E-5 and consider himself BLESSED.

IRR? I remember a bunch of grumpy-ass retired Gy's and MSgt's being re-called for duty for DS. LOL! Now that was fun times. They were like "Yea, if you think we're falling out for your stupid PT, think again."

Not sure if the question "is it fair" can ever pertain to the Military. Speaking as a compassionate person, no it is not fair.

50/50 on this as well. First off, he has/had some serious self control issues, but possibly was able to work on his temper and better himself, thus, enabling him to continue his service admirably. He did MOVE ON and was able to do well enough to prove his worthiness as a senior NCO and be promoted. HRC happened to "goof up" on his records and the board members/Chain of Command decided to not include his conviction in their promotion decision, not the SM's fault at all. He was indeed very lucky.
On the other hand, I don't condone violence off the battlefield whatsoever. They should've stopped his career in it's tracks and had him retire as an E-6. His TIG/TIS is not the issue. E-8 it is!!
