What UCMJ articles give the commander the right and authority to take an individual's POV and not have to pay car note or insurance?

SFC Don Ward - NO No No. You all got it all wrong. 3 points of contact refers to being on vehicles. Feet, hands, crawl. The 3rd point of contact is your arse. That's where the phrase came from. Pull your head out of your 3rd point of contact.
But, I can only speak about this being on the Armor side of the house. :)

SFC William Linnell - Well, the first I ever heard the phrase was in jump school where points of contact mean the most. They are the points of contact in a PLF, Parachute Landing Fall, and have been taught for years. I'm guessing my uncle learned them back in the 40's before deploying with Easy Company, 2/406th PIR, 101st of Band of Brothers fame. I learned the same in civilian Jump School also.

SFC Thomas Peacock - That should have been 2/506th PIR.

My roommate had a similar instance when he passed out at a club and some of his very inebriated buddies tried to drive his car through the gate. Judgment fell on him, not his buddies, since he was the owner of the car and passed out in the back. The new colonel read through his six years of service, and threw the book at him. Busted him from E-4P to E-1, took his pay, his car, made him serve extra detail before helping to muster him out of the Army on a hardship discharge.

This is the same example of Command orders. We use to be able to help a Soldier who couldn't manage their money, Single Soldiers in the Barracks. The 1SG would look the SM checkbook (before debit cards) in his safe. The SM would bring him his bills. With the SM PSG, they would school the Soldier on writing checks, manage money, balance check book. Plus outside debt collectors could call the 1SG/CO to try to collect money owed. This was in the 80s to mid 90s.

Now with the SM vehicle on post. As stated above is a privilege. And one can lose that privilege to drive on post. So many things can hem a SM up. Not registering, inspection, Insurance. The is a cause and effect of events to happen. They can't just wake up one morning and Oh who can I fk with today. BOOM this SM catches it.

Things that made sense to be a teachable lesson and help the SM has turned into YOU CAN'T, Soldiers feelings and sensitivities. Too many civilian run programs dictating what you can and can't do. Use to be able to have a Company day at the lake, all the fixings, soda, water, beer, food. If under 21, you knew you could have a 2 beer limit. No one said jack. Now if you do that, people lose their jobs, your promoting alcoholism blah blah. it was team building, moral building, taking care of Soldiers.

If the vehicle was impounded basically it is taken

Any impound whether civilian and or military would run it's due course for any infractions, i.e. (Violations), of one kind or another of a given UCMJ or general law. And until fines are paid, and or a restitutaion and or after a court order is restituted, to the tune of what the laws governing that particular infraction says, and until all is cleared and made right with the infracted (violation of law, the vehicle can remain impounded, i.e., is to remain in the yard. Also, remember that permission was given you i.e., were given you to have a POV on base and not you just driving up and saying, I'll just keep my vehicle here on base! If a vehicle is your POV and that's why it's called a POV in the first place, than to whom is the responsibility of that vehicle? Yours, period. Why would one think it automatically becomes the responsibility of our government and or it's base commander on Federal property, just because it resides on it's base in that manner anyways? All resposibilities, loans or leigns, liabilities of taxes and otherwise are still the true owners responsiblities, regardless whether or not or while in the impound yard. There are regulations just for the disruption of daily base duties alone that can be a consideration to the disipline handed down as well. Also other charges to law infraction violations and or to the UCMJ possibly could have or had been or indeed could have even gotten worse than just an impounded vehicle. One one might to think to themselves they might even had gotten lucky if other considerations hadn't occured, so remember this also! And if it had gotten that much worse than... other violations and or even actions, had to have had been taken into account that determind furthur actions even if at later dates! Remeber now even a simple infraction to the disruption of a base can indeed be construde as a breach to base security. For Example: (Guard Duty): Halt, who goes there? Friend or foe? What's the password? O.K., I'll let you in even though you do not have the correct password?

PV2 Arthur Fontaine - Correction* Course*

Sgt Dennis Doty And seizure is analogous to loss... Despite your fantasy about aliens stealing my seagull... I just wonder what term you are you have replaced with seagull... Your use of metonymy is unclear...

Cpl Benjamin Long - In the segment of your comment I quoted, you used "tern seizure". A tern is a sea bird whose nearest kin is the seagull. My comment was tongue in cheek.

Sgt Dennis Doty So you are arguing semantics from a typo.. That seems trite and petty... Are you going to say something relevant or reduce your arrogance to sarcasm?

What are these "military regulations"?
