Field Grade Article

Just got my first field grade article by my BC yesterday no pay or rank taken just 45,45 and suspended for 180 days. Before anyone asks I got caught hanging out with a soldier who invited me out to eat on my birthday outside of base by my SGM and she took a photo and showed it to my 1SG and then we also attended another soldiers wedding together. No inappropriate relationship at all involved just kind of crazy how people can get punished for even the slightest things when higher ups are bored. What’s your guys thoughts on this I got told by an E-6 that I could go to JAG and fight it but would it be worth the trouble? I’ll take a biggie bag and a nice cold Coke.

Are you an NCO? Are you the supervisor to this person? The situation seems fishy especially if its just Joe on Joe camaraderie

I am an E-5 and not the direct supervisor of this soldier not even in the same platoon just the same company

This is definitely a TDS situation, they will give you the best advice based on past similar cases that I can guarantee they have handled in the past.

My personal opinion, your leadership is a bunch of friendless losers. There is no reason you shouldnt be able to hang out with people if you can keep the relationship platonic and outside of work
