Coast Guard NJP

[Adam1389]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington

Hi, I was just put on report for commiting an indescent act with another. My question...The 4910 (Report of Offense and Dispositon) The date that they are saying I commited the offense is wrong. The do not mention on or around that date in the charge. Is there a chance I can get it dismissed? And if so, can they refile the charges later?

[Adam1389]

I'm not going to deny the charges..My concern is I am a single parent, and have no means to have him taken care of if I get restricted to base or anything like that. Also, the CO is a W-3, so he can take a paygrade from me. Would this be a possibility if I am finacially squeeking by now? Thank you for any help.

Should have thought of that before you broke the rules. Yes, he can bust you down and take your pay even if you are living above your means now. I doubt you are the only single parent in the Coast Guard and somehow the others can pay their bills and obey the rules. You broke the rules now you have to take your lumps, you may be able to file for a hardship discharge but that would be a slight possibility at best.

Everything you mentioned in your first post does not matter. Think about what NJP stands for and then repost if you can't figure it out.

Basically, a wrong date can simply be corrected on paperwork like this as long as it is just a clerical error. Most likely there is other evidence (attached reports, eyewitnesses, etc.) that can attest to the correct date.

The CO will certainly take your family situation into consideration when deciding your punishment. You may want to be pro-active, however. Consider going to the Chaplain or the base family advocate to see how they can help if you take a financial hit. There are lots of imaginative ways to punish people without necessarily taking money. But there are no guarantees.
