Show of Hands

I'm pretty familiar with quite a few articles of UCMJ, as well as the ACMJ (Arizona National Guard, we have some slightly different rules--being entities of the state as well). As the Admin NCO for a Garrison command, I've processed more administrative actions than I care to count...

Nah. Found out from a veteran friend yesterday that we can still officially set up a firing squad though, so thats cool.

I know it better than most thanks to my duty as a holding company PSG for 5 years. Not JAG level knowledge by any means.

I’m no JAG.....but I knew it well enough to (barely) stay out of trouble when I was in. Statute of limitations has passed for other stuff.

Reasonably good, about on par or a little better with my understanding of the civilian justice system in this country, but I'm not a lawyer. I've read it, and it’s pretty easy to look up anything I have a question about for purposes of amateur discussion, but there’s a good reason lawyers go to a special school and get paid a lot. Seems like I took a fairly long correspondence course on it, in a previous life, part of being a well-rounded NCO. These days it’s all online:

I'm quite sure I *don't.* I'm trying to remember if I've ever read much of anything about it... I think not, even for one narrow subject or other.

I think some of us feel we have a good grasp of *civilian* law, when it seems pretty clear to me that at least some who feel that way really don't. (Thinking of some comments I've seen in polls here, as well as countless idiotic internet comments. Surely the understanding of military law that the majority of us have is even less credible, much less comprehensive.

On the other hand, some of us here surely *do* have a decent understanding of military law, and we should (when we know where that is legitimate) respect that knowledge, and accept it as a resource in any helpful discussions we may have.

I do not and I wouldn’t dare comment on it without at least reading up and consulting someone who knew?

And before anyone asks, watching A Few Good Men does not mean you have a good understanding. 😂
