MEMORANDUM FOR MADE A MISTAKE, AMN,
FR123-45-6789
FROM: 4 XXX/CC
SUBJECT: Letter of Reprimand - Disobey an Order/Failure to Go
1. Saturday, April 6, 2003 you failed
to obey a lawful order given to you by MSgt Dilbert, your
supervisor, to go to the dental clinic at 0800 on 7 April 2003 for your annual
dental checkup.
2. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), Article 91, Insubordinate
conduct toward warrant
officer, noncommissioned officer, or petty officer states:
Any warrant officer or
enlisted member who –
(1) strikes or assaults a warrant officer, noncommissioned officer, or petty
officer,
while that officer is the execution of his office;
(2) willfully disobeys the lawful order of a warrant officer, or petty officer,
noncommissioned officer, or petty officer, or
(3) treats with contempt or is disrespectful in language or deportment toward a
warrant officer, noncommissioned officer, or petty officer while that officer is
the
execution of his office;
Shall be punished as a
court-martial may direct.
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), Article 86, Absence without
leave states:
“Any member of the armed forces who, without authority—
(1) fails to go to his appointed place of duty at the time prescribed;
(2) goes from that place; or
(3) absents himself or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place
of duty at which he is required to be at the time prescribed; shall be
punished as a court-martial may direct.”
Elements.
(1) Failure to go to appointed place of duty.
(a) That a certain authority appointed a certain time and
place of duty for the accused;
(b) That the accused knew of that time and place; and
(c) That the accused, without authority, failed to go to the
appointed place of duty at the time prescribed.
3. You are hereby reprimanded. You have engaged in aberrant behavior which
will not be
tolerated from a member of the United States Air Force. Your past behavior has
raised serious
questions about your ability to remain in the United States Air Force. I want to
know that I
consider disobeying a lawful order to be one of the most serious offenses an Air
Force member
can commit. Strict adherence to orders is the only way that any military force
anywhere in the
world can ever execute its mission. Your unit is not different; you have damaged
its mission
capability by identifying yourself as one who cannot be depended upon to perform
as ordered.
You are going to have to strive diligently if you ever hope to reestablish your
dependability. A
repetition of this totally unacceptable behavior will result in stronger action
against you.
