I have met a SPC Not even Promotable, faking his rank by signing in his rank as a SGT on a roster in a community center. I know his rank but he keeps signing in himself as a sergeant. would that be a punishable by a military law ???

Yes, it is. This can be a violation of Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. You can report the use of the inappropriate rank to the individuals chain of command.

Maybe, impersonating a Non-Commissioned Officer is a violation of Article 134; however to be charged with the offense the Government must show the action was detrimental to good order and discipline. If he tried to give some a lawful order, I could see meeting that threshold, I am not sure (that is why the Commander has a JAG rep) if simply putting that rank on a sign in sheet meets the same threshold. As a junior NCO, I would recommend you pull the soldier aside and tell him that it is wrong to sign in as a SGT and see if the corrects the behavior before running it up the chain for legal action.
