Are retirees subject to UCMJ?

I know this is old, but will give a great answer to the question: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/army-charges-retired-general-with-raping-minor-in-1980s/ar-BBzWJLo?li=BBnb7Kz

Never

Yes, you bet. If you are receiving any kind of benefits from the DOD or VA, you are still a part of that entity. So you are still subject to the UCMJ. In my opinion.

Yes

I've always thought that if you hold a military ID card that you are still subject to military regulations. But only if the infractions were done on a military installation. I've never known it to happen.

As for being penalized by the State or Codified ordinances, that is covered only under the law enforcement acts for the state in which the crime has been committed. Codified is simply a law that has been passed the the legislative branch of the government and does not have to be adopted by any state and therefore would require a federal indictment to enforce, and no state intentionally has to adopt anything that is coded by the United States in any portion as described within the Code of Federal Regulations. The military is its open separate enforcement division and follows the UCMJ therefore the military is the only branch that can punish you as so called "double Jeopardy" and up to this point has not been changed by the supreme court, therefore failure to follow the UCMJ after your Retirement On Active Duty is still a crime in the eyes of the military.

I figure when you are retired, you are retired. This doesn't mean that since you served 20 years or more you can just be tore up and a menace to society. You represent what you dedicated yourself to for 20 year or more. People do make mistakes, granted, but if you will penalized by the State or Codified ordinances that should be punishment enough. Just my opin

Retired On Active Duty means just that. Your official retirement date is not until the 30 year mark at which time you will receive your official retirement certificate from whoever is Commander in Chief at that particular moment. If you spend 20 years active to up to 29 years and 364 days you are officially a member of the inactive reserve component until you get that piece of paper that tells you otherwise. Until that point in time you ARE a part of the military and are subject to the uniform code of military justice.
