Adultery in the Military - what are the possible consequences?

Take child support out of his pay check to go to the other woman's baby even if she is married the baby is still his.

I would think that He Or She should Be PUNISHED UNDER THE UCMJ AND SEPERATED FROM THE SERVICE.

As sad as this sounds it depends on how hes viewed by his superiors and if the officer is in the same unit or not.... the UCMJ unfortunately is left to superior officers to carry out thus allowing for interpretation it also depends on the officer whos wife cheated and the direct supervidor of the troop who cheated... the UCMJ has clear writing on cheating and even acceptable sexual positions the reason is simple while in the service we are expected to show honor integrity and discipline committing adultry goes against all... in my flight we had an unwritten rule that while any member was deployed the rest of our flight was expected to help the spous with shoveling or mowing, mowing anything really how can we do our jobs if were worried what might be happening at home... infedelity in the service has many ramifications

UCMJ-wise, the worst he's looking at is NJP & a one-paygrade reduction in rank. However, he's gotta deal w/ a pissed-off wife. Child support until the baby's 18. Not to mention "unofficial retribution" from officer husband of the woman he knocked up for at least the rest of his tour at his current duty station. If the officer in question is already a successful O-6, then the soldier could be potential harassed rest of his career.

Happened to me, it sucks. Glad he found out and doesn't have to waste anymore of his time. The other guy got nothing because there was no proof.
