So recently I've been flagged for multiple Failures To Report, as a result UCMJ is pending. I have accepted the consequences of my actions and am prepared to face them. I just wanted to know the extent of the article seeing as I'm still in AIT and haven't reported to my first unit yet. (No pun intended between the Failure to report and me not reporting to my unit. The FTR's are to formation) Help?

Article 15's are usually for minor infractions that interfere with the orderly function of the military. They are minor, but should be taken very seriously , before you find yourself unsuitable for military duty and at the end of a line for a Less than desirable discharge, or worse.
What was the problem for showing up for unit formations? Have you attempted to make contact with your leadership to rectify this problem or just ignored that and continued down a path of reckless immaturity?
Being a member of the military means responsibility for your actions, for they will help or hinder those around you. Take full responsibility for these actions. Show them you can be on time for formation and relied on during training with no missteps.
You are the key to your success, only if you listen to your leaders, respond to their training, and become an asset to your unit and yourself will you succeed in life.

Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice is an administrative action for Company level commanders to discipline minor infractions or violations by enlisted personnel. These disciplinary actions can include rank reduction, restriction to specified areas, forfeiture of pay and benefits by specified amounts & or extra duty at the commanding officers discrection. Or the unit commander may choose to suspend any part of the administrative action. Either way it becomes a permanent part of the enlisted personnel military record.

Since When? I got one, and when I got discharged they asked me if I wanted my page 13 (administrative Remarks), I said no and they shitcanned it. Samey Same for everyone. Only court martials stay in your record as they are the same as a trial in Federal Court. Better look this up again.

I see that this was posted 2 months ago and I hope that the issues were, indeed, resolved so that you've become a valued unit member. As many have mentioned, if you aren't early, you are late. In the military, timing is of ultimate importance. Think about if you overslept a movement, for example. A FTR could easily become AWOL under those circumstances (and I have actually known a SM who this happened to. It was not a fun situation to deal with). Additionally, you leave your squadmates short handed. I saw that you purchased an alarm clock and that is certainly a good start. However, you should remember that you have resources even before you had bought it. You are part of a team. Your NCOs are there to help. They won't babysit you, but if you haven't asked for their help, you aren't using all your resources to solve the problem. Likewise your squadmates and others around you. Iron sharpens iron. The more you and your squadmates help one another, the better soldiers you will all be. My only caveat, give help at least as much as you receive. These are my suggestions and my advice. Good luck to you.

When I arrived at my duty station because of the nature of the A15 I was transferred to another unit.

Not off to a great start, I hope in the process You are learning. It is never acceptable to be late and even worse to miss a formation. In the Military of course there are penalties including or Article 15 or perhaps worse if it persist. In the civilian world these things could well lead to termination of employment, often they are less tolerant than the Military believe it or not. No where does this serve Your best interest. If getting up in the morning is the problem work on this and try to form some good habits, if it takes setting two alarm clocks then do it, one near You another to go off a little later and one You have to get out of bed to reach. This may lead to better results and get You in the practice of being on time. In the long run the only one that can correct this is You !

SPC Cameron Hale - Forgetting one thing, of course. The internet is forever. Don't be surprised if this episode comes up again.
Your comments are mostly positive and professional. That is a feather in your cap. The rest of the story (even the deleted parts)... there's enough here that some enterprising Sergeant will find it and start asking questions.
Best to have a good story of how you learned your lesson and un-screwed yourself ready to go.

As a PV2 it the article 15 will not follow you to your next unit. You will be flagged for the duration of the punishment which would vary from what level it is. However it will be noticed on your ERB if your E1 date of rank is after your E2 date of rank.

longest you will be flagged is 14 days unless a portion of the punishment is suspended.

As long as you don't plan on doing some high speed stuff like special forces, you'll be okay. I had a PFC come to the unit months back and I did his paperwork for SF. He had a company grade article 15 for something dumb at AIT, I had to write a character reference letter signed by BTRY CDR, and they still didn't take him because their policy is you have to wait 2 years after any article 15 in order for them to waive it. Anyway you don't seem like the SF type anyway just some information.
