Best Answer

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is applicable, according to article 2 (a)(4) to retired members who are entitled to pay. Therefor retired members receiving pay are subject to any article of the UCMJ. Use of illegal substances is not addressed under the UCMJ; however, those military members given Non-Judicial Punishment and/or Courts Martial for the use of drugs are often charged under article 134,which retired members who receive pay are subject to. In the past, retired military members have been charged under the UCMJ for offenses ranging from drug use, to sodomy. Retirees drawaing pay for service in a regular component of the armed forces are NOT civilians.
