Good. Although I think the 30 day jail sentence or less than $2000 fine is not an appropriate punishment. He pursued the man with intent. He should be dishonorably discharged and lose his drill sergeant hat and badge. PFC (Join to see) SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL SFC James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" LTC Stephen F.

I think the one-thing-at-a-time, is a reasonable approach. Let the civilian justice system play all the way out before any military investigation and adjudicating.

DD is not warranted. That's reserved for Capital offenses. He should not be training Soldiers.

Sorry Chief, but capital offenses are those that have the possibility of the death penalty. I agree he should not be training soldiers, at any level.

SrA John Monette - You are correct. Maybe felony was a better word choice. Being a self-centered loudmouth is wrong, but does not warrant a DD. That's what I should have said. Thanks for correcting it. The two overlap under UCMJ: Dishonorable discharges are handed down for what the military considers the most reprehensible conduct. This type of discharge may be rendered only by conviction at a general court-martial for serious offenses (e.g., desertion, sexual assault, murder, etc.) that call for dishonorable discharge as part of the sentence. (Google, UCMJ, MCM)

Dishonorable discharge requires military court martial and the former Fort Jackson CG allowed civilian justice system to have jurisdiction. The drill sergeant is still suspended from duty
