So the position of a former US Army Sergeant major, just recently retired, and who on occasion may have stretched the rules a bit.

If you break the rules, you should be charged...,the officer doing the Art 32 can recommend no charges, lesser charges, or the full deal.. the appointing officer can concur, or set aside the ART32 finding, can charge anyway, choose a lesser charger or non at all...If charged and IF found guilty, it is at that point the commander with a duty and responsibility to hear mitigating circumstances as to why the punishment should be less or none, can decide what the punishment should be.

If the LT CDR is found to have violated Federal law or Navy regulations, he should stand a Art32... And then the Navy commander with Court Martial convening authority can make a decision from there.

This is no different than what i would expect (and accept) if i were to carry a gun into a post office and by chance stop a violent crime in progress using my concealed weapon.
Charged, Grand Jury at least......
