I say fry her... I assume she's an A-Schooler at Pensacola:

Boy, this will be fun to watch

C'mon, she quoted Tupac during her rationalization.

And this is why being a Legal O or DivO is an adventure. 18 to 22-year-olds who never stop coming up with creative ways to get in trouble.

I am SO glad I avoided legal school.

What I got out of that job was everyone in the squadron telling me I should have been an attorney . . . but the job market for them these days put paid to that idea right quick.

Perhaps your sarcasm detector was out of calibration that day.

What % get NJP?

I hope she goes for trial in lieu of mast just to see what happens.

After watching her video (and all the associated comments about NJP, court martial, etc), I'm confident my goat locker would work their magic and straighten her out. For stuff like this, why go high order with legal proceedings when all the Sailor really needs is a little khaki leadership.

I agree, but NJP is necessary not for this individual sailor but necessary for the X number of sailors that will copy cat this move if they see no punishment occur.

 

[Brett327]

Not doing NJP doesn't mean it's going to be a pleasant experience. I also don't think there are a bunch of Sailors itching to do this kind of thing either.

I think a 30/60 restriction/half pay with help get the message through even better when coupled with the goat locker 'guidance'.

Or put her on the color detail for 45 days and suspend NJP. So if she wants to do something stupid, you already have a route available. And by putting on dress uniform and doing colors twice a day, maybe she would learn some respect for customs and courtesies.

Back in my Devil Dog days this would be handled by the NCOs, no officers necessary.
