Initial action service members should take when notified of Article 15 (NJP, Captain’s Mast). Request the evidence against you, speak to an attorney and review the evidence with an attorney, prior to making a decision to accept or deny Article 15.
Transcript: Are you facing Article 15, NJP or Captain's Mast? If so, have you requested the evidence against you, have you consulted with an attorney, have you reviewed that evidence with an attorney? These are the main actions you should take whenever you are notified. That way you can see the evidence against you, you can review it with an attorney, and they can comment on the weight of the evidence, and then you can decide whether to accept or deny Article 15 or NJP. Now if you deny or demand court martial, you may be court martialed. At court martial the standard is a lot higher. It's beyond a reasonable doubt, and you can choose to have a jury. Now at Article 15 or NJP, its preponderance of the evidence, 51%, more likely than not, and its your commanding officer that is the judge and jury. Like, follow, share, take care.
