Based on 16 cases · 2022 · Navy and Marine Corps records · data updated October 24, 2026

## Punitive Discharges in 12 of 13 Enlisted Convictions

Of 13 convicted enlisted members, 12 received a bad-conduct or dishonorable discharge (92%). Of those 12, 5 were dishonorable. Across the Navy and Marine Corps in 2022, the share was 64%.

A sentence without a punitive discharge does not rule out a later administrative separation.

## Confinement in Every Conviction

Confinement was part of 100% of the 14 convictions. The median confinement was 1 year, compared with 6 months across the Navy and Marine Corps. A quarter of the sentences were 2 years or longer.

These are adjudged sentences, before any plea-agreement cap, clemency, or appeal. Each covers every charge in the case.

## Drug and Conspiracy Charges

Charges are listed for 14 of the 16 cases. Article 112a (drug offenses) appeared in 6 cases (43%), compared with 22% across the service. Article 81 (conspiracy) appeared in 5 cases (36%), compared with 5%.

Article 128 (assault) and Article 92 each appeared in 3 cases (21%). Article 115, Article 109, Article 134, and Article 87a each appeared in 2 cases (14%). A case with several articles counts under each one.
