Associated Press Navy disciplines officers in massive ship fire By LOLITA C.

The most significant actions were taken against members of the ship's leadership team, including letters of reprimand and pay cuts for the former commander and executive officer. And Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro issued a letter of censure to retired Vice Adm. Richard Brown, who was the commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet at the time of the fire.

Brig Posted July 16, 2022 Share #57 Posted July 16, 2022 Only way to cut pay is reduce rank or do half pay as part of an NJP The enlisted were probably busted down, officers are generally sh*t-canned Unless civilians can lose steps on the pay scale...don't know about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 17, 2022 Share #58 Posted July 17, 2022 On 7/15/2022 at 5:33 PM, Bob Hudson said: I never heard of senior officers getting their pay docked - If the officer imposing the NJP has GCMA (General Court Martial Authority) they can do a reduction in pay. This is typically seen only at admirals mast. If the officer imposing punishment holds General Court Martial authority, or if the commanding officer is of the grade O-7 or greater Arrest in quarters: not more than 30 days Restriction to limits: not more than 60 days Forfeiture of pay: not more than ½ of one month's base pay for two months (base pay does not include allowances or special pay) Admonition or reprimand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
