    It is not uncommon for someone to think he has a honorable discharge, when he does not have it yet. There is usually a period of "individual ready reserve" that goes on for a number of years. There is no need to muster, or do anything with the military, but they can be called up at a moments notice, and are still somewhat under the UCMJ.

    Members of the individual ready reserve are required to keep the military up to date on their location, to respond to communications from the military, and keep themselves in ready physical shape. A violation of one of those can result in a court-martial.

    1) You are on active duty, and commit a crime, obviously you are covered under the UCMJ.
    2) You are in the National Guard, but being trained by the Federal military, and commit a crime, you are again covered under the UCMJ. It is considered the same as active duty.
    3) You get court-martialed and were ever in the military, well guess what, you are back in the military for the court-martial. A relatively common example is when you commit a crime in the military, but leave before you could be court-martialed.
    All three require orders placing you on active duty. The third case is a grey zone. If you were leaving the military for retirement versus leaving it with a change in status like going to IRR, versus you are being discharged without further service obligation, it becomes an 'It depends' situation. The military / government might find it easier to charge you as a civilian rather than as a member of the military.

    Inactive duty training is almost the same thing as active duty as far as the UCMJ is concerned. You do not need to be active duty.

    That is the norm. That being said, if they find something in your discharge that was fraudulent, they have been known to drag you back into the service.

    For Military Retirees: Yes, you can fall under the UCMJ

    You're a fuckwit, your own quote disputes this.

    And J6 wasn't an insurrection. Why are you so comfortable letting nazis tell you what to think?

    That's a rhetorical question, I already know why you're so comfortable with it.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    Agreed. Sometimes those rules aren't enforced by allowing civil authorities to handle the case. For 1/6, White Supremacist Extremists/terrorists and other anti-American groups, our military might decide to make examples of all of them.

    Have you considered therapy? I'm certain NAS Jax has some groups for troubled sailors and retirees.

    Disagreed.

    Not at the moment, although if I was diagnosed with something like ALS, dementia or some other terminal diseases, my Plan B is to disappear into the woods with a .45 and some really good drugs. You?

    Yes, BTDT. I lived there from January 1986 to October 1989 before transferring to NAS Whiting Field. I saw the space shuttle Challenger blow up standing on a dock in the St. John's river and was attached to an HS squadron. One deployment to the Med from there, one mini-deployment down to South American.

    The Constitution carves out the military as a major exception to our freedoms. You are free from forced labor, except in the military. There was an acceptance that we needed a military that did not follow the standard rules of freedom, in order to protect our freedom.

    On top of that, there was little concept of retirement until very recently. So it was a lifelong obligation.

    That sense of duty is alien to many today, so we put it out of our mind, but it is floating out there. The grown ups among us know that.

    Having too much fun.

    You're free to lie, free to brag about being a racist US Navy Petty Officer and free to flash your ID around while doing it all.

    Every American, even if they never served, is free to disagree with you, Petty Officer Dumbass.

    Mind you, I've actually presented something which supports my position that I'm retired military. Uncle Dunce has not.

    Here, this is my (redacted) retiree ID card:



    I would love to ask Dunce to provide his, but it's pretty fucking clear he doesn't have one, despite his lies to the contrary.
