That would have been the first reading. Has the SM involved gone to TDS yet?Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 20 at 2017 6:43 PM2017-10-20T18:43:41-04:002017-10-20T18:43:41-04:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member3020045<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A counseling form recommending UCMJ has no real time limit until UCMJ action is actually initiated. There are certain events that have a timetable, but with a good reason, that can be extendedResponse by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 21 at 2017 10:14 AM2017-10-21T10:14:59-04:002017-10-21T10:14:59-04:00MAJ Private RallyPoint Member3040768<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>An article 15 has a statute of limitations of 2 years from the time of the incident. There is no requirement that the 15 be given within a certain amount of time following a counseling. I would recommend you speak with an attorney from TDS. They are free defense attorneys paid for by the army to help soldiers facing punishment. The regulation you are looking for is AR 27-10.Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 28 at 2017 4:47 AM2017-10-28T04:47:56-04:002017-10-28T04:47:56-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member4807890<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In AR don't be a scrubResponse by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 13 at 2019 9:01 AM2019-07-13T09:01:14-04:002019-07-13T09:01:14-04:002017-10-20T18:28:10-04:00
