The unnamed sailor's wife reportedly told MS Now that her husband jumped from the ship in a suicide attempt on Aug. 3, and is now accused of violating the articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Military.com contacted the Navy for comment. MS Now reportedly received charging documents that purportedly show the Navy has accused the sailor in question of violating Article 83 for "malingering"—a term related to instances when a sailor fakes illness to avoid work. The documents also said he had violated Article 86 for "absence without leave."


Well, the navy said the guy jumped with his life jacket on …so I’m gonna going out on the plank and siding with malingering over suicide attempt.

I can't form an educated opinion on this if I have never served or been in his situation.

Thank you to all who serve.

And?

They got more amenities and resources on that ship than any ship that has ever sailed the seven seas in the history of mankind.

Reminds me of the story of the Lexington sinking in the Coral Sea battle: As the Lexington was doomed and the order to abandon ship was given, some of the sailors took off their shoes and lined them up on the edge of the ship while they sat there and gorged themselves on ice cream from the ship's freezers while awaiting rescue from the accompanying destroyers.

If only someone could have predicted that someone might spend long stretches of time on a ship due to joining...the navy.

We're so soft it's insane.

So just one tried to jump? The MSM made it seem like we had a mass suicide attempt with multiple,

Welcome to a typical WestPAC or Med Cruise; there is always at least one.

What is strange is the unnamed sailors wife was already named. Unless it is a different wife.

A wife went on podcast or CNN and they had her first and last name on screen.

My wife had lunch this week with a Republican high school classmate, whose son serves on the Lincoln. She said that the conditions on the vessel are awful and even worse than reported…

When I was in Iceland a guy in another barracks tied some sheets together,tied it around his neck and jumped out of a 2’nd story window. His knots came untied so it didn’t kill him but he was hurt pretty bad.He was flown to Germany so don’t know how it turned out.


When I was in basic, we heard about a guy in the previous cycle who attempted to hang himself by tying a floor buffer cord around his neck and jumping out of a second story barracks window. Fortunately (unfortunately?) for his stupid arse, the cord was longer than the drop and he just ended up breaking both legs.

I’ll bet that he and about 90% of his crew try to get lifetime maximum disability payments. Why do you think enrollment has skyrocketed? Ticket to money without having to work for life.

Details?

I'm curious to see if this is a real complaint or just the soft boiled whining of Gen whateveritisnow.
