I'd keep that little detail to myself. Pay the ticket and move along with life.

I received a speeding ticket 8 days before I was due to deploy. My sister paid the ticket for me while I was gone. It was no problem and as someone else said, the units are more concerned with DUIs. Just DON'T get a speeding ticket on post. Make sure you either pay the ticket before the court date or go to court when scheduled. I work in a jail and you won't believe how many Failure to Appears I see when the original charge was speeding.

Unless it has changed, the MPs give you a Delinquency Report (DR) and send DR though channels to your CO. I got one at Benning in 1966. Had to go to Traffic Officer, and he just said I did not know a M38A1 would go that fast. LOL, no other repercussions except BN XO that I drove for, told me not to speed with him in the jeep. Had the M38A1 because M151 was on a slow boat to RVN and I had to "borrow" it to get the XO around. When we flew out to Oakland to get on the ship, I asked him what I should I do with it, and he said just park it in a parking lot and leave it. So I did.
