I'm Seeking Military Legal Advice????

Can anyone Help?

my chain of command wants to discharge me from the army because i was caught drinking underage while enrolled in the army's alcohol and substance abuse program. but they are all in the wrong because my NCO's have drank with their underage soldiers before, knowing their underage AND knowing your not allowd to drink with your soldiers or fraternize with them, they also KNOW 2 underage soldiers both bought hookers and possibly caught STD's, 1 of the NCO's has assaulted a private, and that same one said right in front of me after i was caught drinking (i told you i wanted him gone, now hes out)
none of this is allowd, and theres more to it than just that.
basically i have blackmail on my whole platoon, so maybe i can justify the situation

I would love it if anyone whos a lawyer for people in the Military could give me advice. But any is welcome.

Thanks

What you need to understand is that having "dirt" on other people will not make your offenses go away. Part of both the law in general and the military's own code of values is that you don't "justify" bad behavior on your part by trying to shift the blame to others. Since you were already IN the substance abuse program, you knew what you were doing was wrong and you chose to do it anyway. You might succeed in getting some other people in trouble if you have proof of your allegations about their behavior...and if your JAG is good, you might get a reduced penalty (as in...a general discharge rather than a BCD) but you're going to be separated.

Perhaps you will learn some lessons from this error in judgement and will make better decisions in the future.

Yes, they are wrong but, you are wrong too because there is a 0% tolerance for drinking underage especially if u are already in a alchoholics class, if u want to stay in go to your squad leader and tell him u want another chance and MAYBE u will get it,, by the way if one of your battle buddies was assalted then you need to turn that in that is not something the military should take lightly especially if they go to war together....geesh!!!

You sound like a ****-en crybaby to me topwop and you'll probably get what you deserve.
