Just because you commit an offense under the UCMJ doesn't necessarily mean you will be puinished for it. It's up to the commander's discression if they want to pursue action against the person. Adultery doesn't mean you're automatically put out of the military. He could've received an Article 15 for this incident. That justifies as his punishment. If he had other infractions along with the adultery incident he could've possibly been chaptered out for patterns of misconduct but again it would be up to the commander if he/she wanted to initiate a discharge him.
