This definitely falls into the category of "Useless Information that I Happen to Know," but any Navy officer who is punished at court martial or Captain's Mast is also required to face a Board of Inquiry to show cause for retention in the service. Many officers (who don't hire lawyers) decide "Oh, I'll just plead guilty and get a letter of reprimand and move on," only to be separated by the Board of Inquiry. In this case, it's pretty cut-and-dry that she'll be separated; the BOI will just be a formality or she might even waive it. The pertinent Navy instruction (page 7), if you're interested. http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/milpersman/1000/1600Performance/Documents/1611-010.pdf http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/milpersman/1...
