What is article 137 of the ucmj?

Answer 1

Article 137 of the UCMJ states that certain articles of the UCMJ have to be explained to the sailor when: 1. A sailor first enters the Navy or within six days after 2. After six months of active duty from entrance into the Navy 3. And upon reenlistment Under Article 137 a sailor should have explained to him/her articles 2, 3, 7-15, 25, 27, 31, 38, 55, 77-134, and 137-139). of the UCMJ (Uniformed Code of Military Justice). These articles or subjects include: Persons subject to the UCMJ, Jurisdiction to try certain personnel, Apprehension of suspect (YOU), Rules of Restraint (There are many things they can't do legally), Reports and receiving prisoners, Confinement Rules, Punishment prohibited before trial, Rules of Nonjudicial punishment, Who may serve on court martial, Detail of trial counsel and defense counsel, Compulsory self-incrimination is Prohibited, Duties of the trial counsel and defense counsel, Cruel and unusual punishment that is prohibited, ****You should just read all the articles that are listed above and then some to know your rights and limits as well your superiors******* I have never had the UCMJ explained to me by a superior. This is another one of those rules that slip by but shouldn't. I believe knowledge is power and by not teaching a sailor his rights is keeping the sailor a slave to ignorance And by a sailor not knowing his/her rights a superior can walk right over him/her. Hooyah DEEPSEA!!!!!!!! And all you divers need to know the UCMJ from all the trouble you get in.

Article 137 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) pertains to prejudicial statements. It prohibits making disloyal, contemptuous, or disrespectful remarks about appointed or elected officials, the President, or the American flag, among other things. Violations of Article 137 can result in disciplinary action under the UCMJ.
