D&D Penalty?

If serving it would be worse, there's the standard catch all of
bringing which ever armed force into disrepute. Essentially appearing
in a civilian court will usually automatically invoke some form of
service discipline.

 

I was talking to a US Navy Master Chief about DUI. He said in the 'old'
Navy it was an unwritten law that you were expected to have at least one
conviction in civilian court on your record in order to make Master
Chief. These days you get the boot automatically upon conviction. This
of course, could be bollox.

 

As in, "I haven't had a **** all night, drinkstable"?

Heh, if I'm feeling suitably aggrieved and I think I can get away with
it, I might use that one day.
