So your friend is married to a guy who retired and she found out later he was committing adultery while he was on AD? Retired Service Members have been recalled to Active Duty to be brought in front of the court for serious legal proceedings but I don't know of a case where this happened regarding Adultery. If she is serious about it she should contact someone from base legal for a consultation. I don't know if they will pursue it though. Adultery isn't a court marshal level offense. It is normally handled at the Battalion level from my observation and experience.
