Can I be chaptered if the BC did not mention it during my Field Grade Article 15 (and while I'm in my RCP window)?

It really depends on what the article 15 was for. A field grade usually does open up the option for chapter. The fact that you are a hop skip and a jump away from RCP doesn't mean anything. If they initiate a bar and chapter proceedings, then you can plan on being chaptered without the severance benefits that come with RCP.

Short answer Yes, two different administrative actions, two different counseling/ notifications requirements.

Yes. But there are administrative ways that you can fight an administrative discharge , depending on rank and whether the discharge would be an OTH, General under honorable, or a Honorable. You need to be at your JAG office for better and more up to date advice , with your copy of your SRB, or your 201 file.
