'Missing' US Navy sailor found hiding in ship's engine room charged with dereliction of duty

Throw him overboard and do the rest of the Navy a favor..

"Mims faced an admiral’s mast on July 13, according to the Navy Times. He was charged with abandoning watch and dereliction of duty." "We are not disclosing any of the punitive actions taken against him,” Newell told Navy Times. "However, I can say that Mims is facing possible further administrative action."

This means he has already faced NJP right? He was masted. Since they imposed punitive actions against him, he won't face a secondary disciplinary hearing correct?

I am sure that he will be separated, but it will likely be an admin sep under OTH conditions, unless the punitive action was that he should face a court martial. Or am I reading this wrong?
