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'm not sure they can But after 30 years from retirement it would take an act of congress to bring you back I think

I do not believe the military should have control of people once their service is up.

Yes subject to UCMJ, loss of pay and benefits isnt a huge surprise when a crime comes to public attention. Most frequently retired general officers caused political embarrassment

The higher the profile, the closer the scrutiny. The greater the embarrassment to the respective, prior service.

He was Trialled in civilian court twice and the charges and acquitted. The reason he was brought back on active duty and charged was the charges against him was committed on active duty and he retired. If he hadn't retired he couldn't have been court martialed. Sad story all the way around.

Retiree's are representatives of the Military and the US. Should always behave in accordance. That's how I roll

Do you think there are things over and above civil law and security issues such as non disclosure etc--- applying to retired military that are unique to the UCMJ and not punishable by civil law?--i mean as far as conduct.
Another thing is if you dont want to behave in a civil manner but not really doing criminal things you can always be banned from bases also
I'm a good little scout though, no worries for me :)

I believe that it has to do with events that happened while on active duty.. don't see how anything else would affect an interruption in retirement

Sorry friend, only 30 years! I joined the AF in 1960, and my 30 years ended in 1990, I am now 80 years old and I don't think the military owns this old man now, retired pay or no retired pay. When the military keeps reducing our medical benefits. Belonging to the military family isn't the same thing.

Basically they'd need something court martial worthy because there is no commanding officer to NJP you and if you aren't earning pay or allowances they can't cut your pay and allowances, although the they could possibly go back and try to change the form of discharge you Recieved.
