So, I'm a Senior Non-commissioned officer. I work with several civilians, and recently got into a "heated exchange" with one of them (a GS-13) and told him to "get the ef outta my office, get the ef outta my face, effin' beat it," etc. Didn't threaten him or anything. At any rate, a LTC (who, incidentally has no UCMJ authority) in the other room heard the exchange and apparently wrote a sworn statement in hopes of UCMJ proceedings. I'm a little over a year from retirement. I have documented medical issues concerning "anger". Don't really want to go into that one much. I will say that while I'm brash and whatnot, I've never received a rating below 1/1 on my NCOERs.
My questions are as follows:
1. What is the likelihood of my command actually entertaining this and pursuing punishment through UCMJ? I have absolutely no pattern of misconduct.
2. If they do actually pursue UCMJ based on only the one sworn statement, should I go ahead and request trial by Court Martial?
Any help and/ or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
