If you get an article 15 during a chapter from the army would you still have to wait until your extra duty is over before being discharged?

Aren't you the guy that pissed hot and failed a urine drug test? If the Chapter packet was kicked back, then something was wrong with the packet. But if an Article 15 is being recommended/given, then you violated the Manuals of Court Martial/UCMJ somehow. Could be the hot piss test is the reason for the Article 15, who knows. You will certainly know when you go in front for your initial reading. Look, your ETS can be put on hold pending UCMJ resolution. I once knew a guy in Germany that was at the Frankfurt Airport...LITERALLY WALKING ONTO THE PLANE to fly back to the States....when he was detained by MPs for drug use and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was brought back to face UCMJ actions.

But, if you really want to know, then go to JAG and speak with a Defense Lawyer.

You are leaving the Amy, soon.
No one in the Army is interested in "destroying your motivation" on your way to the civilian world, or doing hours of extra paperwork just to "screw over" someone who won't be their problem in a month.

If your chapter case involved a violation of UCMJ, your command would be derelict of duty if they had not brought an Art 15.
They do have the option of suspending the punishment.

The answer is it depends.

If the unit decides that the chapter is simply a uniform requirement and they hold no ill will toward you it’s likely you will transition out as planned.

If they decide your transgression needs to be made an example of they may go through the pain of changing your discharge date and letting you serve out your article 15 punishment

If they decide you’re more of a problem I’m around an ethical or otherwise an issue to the rest of the command they’ll probably allow you to discharge at your normal day because it’s for the betterment of the service

You cannot be retained past your ETS unless it’s for a court martial.
Your Command team doesn’t care about your discharge type. All ETS separations are an Honorable discharge.
If you are currently past your ETS then your command will need to execute an antedated extension with a memo from your Brigade Commander explaining how your command team failed to plan for your separation. If by “leave the Army” you meant sign out on leave, leave is at the discretion of the commander.

This is something that I have actually dealt with. If you have a separation date already and they give you more days of additional duty beyond the separation date they will have to amend it. It is not that hard pushing back a separation date. If you think it is not fair you can always take it to court martial unless it's a summarized. I would make sure to talk to legal about this when you have your opportunity.

If your command is starting Article 15 proceedings, then you have done something that goes against the UCMJ. Regardless of you being chaptered out, you did something that warrants a punishment. It’s not to destroy your motivation, it’s to enforce and maintain the standards. You will serve your punishment, then get out.

I have dealt with Marines who were being discharged, who assumed that their status gave them a lot of room for behavioral nonsense. They assumed that they could get away with things because the command would not want to delay their discharge. They assumed wrong.

And if it’s for SUDC failure, which is a violation of article 92, failure to obey a lawful order, you have to receive some sort of punishment

I think it’s time you familiarize yourself with Title 10 of the US Code. A less than dishonorable discharge can not be given unless the person serves his or her enlistment tour with so many good time days. Any bad time days, for any reason, don’t count toward this legal requirement. So think of it this way. Someone out there, for what ever reason, is giving you a real break that from the tone of you post is a lot more than you deserve. You are not getting screwed. You are getting a big time, nice person break that will benefit you for the rest of your life. So my recommendation? Shut the hell up and go with the flow because someone is doing you one hell of a favor.

O-k. First off. You say that you were due to get chaptered out of the Army July 31st but it got kicked back for some reason.

Going to be blunt but you getting chaptered and then getting an Article 15 during your final days makes you seriously sound like a fuck up that the Army cannot get rid of soon enough.

To clue you in, the Army is not screwing you, you are screwing you because you did something to warrant an Article 15 in the first place. And sorry but yes, they did inform you because to GET an Article 15 you have to be apprised of it and an appointment with JAG has to be made so they can counsel you on your options and legal status vis a vis the Article 15.

As your discharge got kicked back, you belong to the Army until they get your paperwork right and if that happens to mean that you have to serve extra duty prior to that happening then yes, that is what happens. However the Army cannot arbitrarily extend your enlistment just to serve ED. If you are due to get kicked on say the 5th of Aug and you get read an Article 15 that assigns 45 days of ED starting on the 4th, then the Army just gets stiffed out of the ED duty. You are a civilian.

Destroy your motivation? Motivation for what? Clearly that was already crap to begin with otherwise you would not be getting chaptered or getting Article 15's.
