Punitive Articles of the UCMJArticles 77134Punitive Articles of the UCMJ- Articles 77134The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is the bedrock of military law. The UCMJ is a federal law, enacted by Congress. Articles 77 through 134 of the UCMJ are known as the punitive articles. these are specific offenses which, if violated, can result in punishment by court-martial. Many will also likely have civilian court cases as well if other local laws were broken too such as driving drunk to rape or murder. The UCMJ and theManual for Court Martial (MCM) The law requires the Commander-in-Chief (The President of the United States) to implement the provisions of the UCMJ. The President does this via an executive order known as the Manual for Court Martial (MCM). Chapter 4 of the MCM includes, and expands on the punitive articles. The articles are broken into the following sections The Text This is the exact text of the article, as Congress approved it in the UCMJ.Elements These are the s pecifics of the offense. To betreuung a finding of guilty, the government must prove each element of the offense, beyond a reasonable doubt.Explanation The explanation defines terms, and clarifies the elements, based on previous court decisions.Lesser Included Offense These are lesser offenses that a military court may still find an accused guilty of, even if the court finds the accused not guilty of the originally charged offense. For example, Manslaughter, under Article 119 is a lesser included offense of Murder, under Article 118. If a military court finds the accused not guilty of the crime of Murder, the court can still find the accused guilty of Manslaughter, without the government having to amend the charges. Maximum Permissible Punishments These are the *maximum* punishments that a general court-martial can award toward a particular offense. While not specifically stated, a general court-martial can also reduce a persons grade. Most generals court martialreduce the convicted persons grade to the lowest enlisted rank (E-1) when punishment includes time in prison or a punitive discharge. Who Is Subject to the UCMJ?

How 17 Real People Got Their Jobs

How 17 Real People Got Their JobsHow 17 Real People Got Their JobsHow 17 Real People Got Their JobsLast fall, I read a post at Secrets of the Job Hunt, discussing best and worst ways to find a job. Citing original research conducted by Weddles, they provided a list of the most- and least-helpful sources for getting hired. The six categories in the original study were, in order of helpfulnesszugnglich job boardsHeadhunter or staffing firmTip from a friendNetworking at work or at a business eventCareer fairsNewspaper ads.My So-Called Reality PollMy experience didnt really fit with the results, so I decided to conduct a reality poll of friends and acquaintances to see if they agreed with the list. I got responses from 17 real people (one of whom welches me).I asked them how they got their jobs, and to choose one of the six categories above, or to indicate Other if they didnt fit neatly into any of the six categories. Here, for what theyre worth, are the completely unscientific, statisti cally insignificant results of my study.The winner by a landslide was Other, with 41% of the vote. The runners-up were Tip from Friend (29%) Online Job Board (18%) Networking at Work (12%) and Staffing Firm (1%).Much more interesting were the explanations that accompanied the Other responsesI bought the company I worked for.I started a new company with my former coworkers.I got my job through the birth canal I work for my parents.My parents bought the company.It was my sister-in-laws job and she opened a restaurant, so I took it over.My old employer asked me back with an offer I couldnt refuse.My grad school hired me after I graduated.I might argue that some of those fall into the Tip from a Friend category (if you broadly define friend as a person I know in some capacity).As for the people who did select one of the six categories from the Weddles research, heres a sampling of their responsesMy old bosss wife works for my current boss, so she put in a good word. (Tip from a Friend)A guy I had a business relationship with recruited me over to my new company. (Networking at Work)I answered an ad online. (one used CraigsList.org, one used CareerBuilder.com, and one used Indeed.com (Online Job Board)A college recruiter recruited me. (Headhunter)Seems to me it all just goes back to the universal truth. Its who you know.How about you? What job-hunting methods have been successful in your experience?
