Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), adultery is defined as sexual conduct that violates the marital fidelity of a service member. Kissing on the neck could potentially be considered adultery if it is deemed to be an intimate act that signifies a romantic or sexual relationship outside of marriage. However, the specific circumstances, intent, and context would play a significant role in determining whether it constitutes adultery. Ultimately, legal interpretation would depend on the details of the case and the discretion of military authorities.
In a criminal trial (e.g. a Court-Martial) the burden of proof is the same as in state and federal criminal law. The burden is the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused committed each of the elements of the charged offense.
Being late for duty is primarily addressed under Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which pertains to "Absence Without Leave" (AWOL). Specifically, it covers the unauthorized absence of a service member from their appointed place of duty. While being late may not constitute AWOL, repeated instances can lead to disciplinary action under this article or other articles related to conduct and performance. Commanders also have discretion to address tardiness through non-judicial punishment or administrative actions.
Contraband is covered under Article 108 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which addresses the wrongful possession, manufacture, or disposal of property that is not authorized for military use. This includes items that are prohibited or restricted, such as illegal drugs or unauthorized weapons. Violations of this article can lead to disciplinary action under military law.

Yes it is possible that you can be punished for adultery under UCMJ regardless of being legally separated or not! Only way of being a 100 percent sure this doesn't happen is to wait for any relationship of any kind til the divorce has been finalized and you are single again!
If the particular state in which the adultery occurred has laws against it. Adultery is not illegal in all states, and in some states where it is a crime the law is not enforced and adulterers are not prosecuted. If however the "military wife" is also enlisted, then she can definitely be charged with adultery under UCMJ.
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.
Yes, they do.
The simple answer is yes. Under the UCMJ, Article 134 is the General Article that could be used.
