According to Article 2 of UCMJ, "Retired members of a regular component of the armed forces who are entitled to pay" are covered by UCMJ. Does this mean that retirees can be charged with UCMJ violations even long after retirement and when not doing anything related to the military? Has this ever happened?

I saw a Ret Msgt from the USMC finally tell off a Chief Warrant Ofc about 6 months after he Ret. The CWO being the D!$@ he was had him brought up on charges. Cooler heads put a stop to it. But it does happen.

I knew a MGySgt that ran his mouth in a J-Ville bar and some bikers busted him up pretty good in early 90s. Broke bones. He rated it from what I'm told. Hobbled around in casts for a bit. I'm all for free speech, but it can have a price. The CWO lacked people skills too, for trying to use UCMJ on a retiree that shot him straight. Maybe not, can't say.

They should be subject to UCMJ actions for serious crimes. No one that commits such a ts should draw any pay from the American taxpayers.

As long as you are a member of the fleet reserve you are fully under the UCMJ. For a retiree like me, I retired at the 20 year mark, that's ten more years. You are fleet reserve transferred until you hit the 30 year mark.

Sure..especially if on a military installation. We have an ID card like any other active duty Soldier..we still must respect UCMJ...

Since I did a lot of research concerning this exact issue with respect to Gen Mattis, Gen Flynn, and Gen Kelly (and other retirees in the cabinet), I found out that if you are a retiree who enters into FERS as a federal employee you forego retiree pay, and are therefore not subject to the UCMJ.

I am a length of service retiree (26+) and worked for the federal government for an additional 14 and I can assure you that I did not lose my retirement pay when I was signed up for FERS. I was a Human Resource Specialist as a civilian and a major part of my job was employee benefits. We handled hundreds upon hundreds of military retirees and none of them lost their retirement when they joined FERS.

What about retirees who SCREW OVER other retirees in civil situations....
Such as one retiree getting another retiree fired by using false statements from ironically a National Guard SSG and an active duty SP4 .... and selling these false statements to the employer ...
Conduct unbecoming is till conduct unbecoming whether in a criminal sense or civil (tort) sense ( judicially speaking)

I would sure like to find the individual that raped my sister when we were kids. I would like to see some vengeance via UCMJ.

Yes, A Service Member is still on the rolls when that Service Member has their name removed from the Active Roll and placed on the Retired Roll. That is why the Service Member is issued an ID Card. One is still on the Rolls, it is just no longer in Active Duty Status.
