administrative correction tools don't rehabilitate the person this is where you move
forward from Correction to Punishment, the "Commander's Only" zone.
DM Arena 3 - Punishment - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔to correct and rehabilitate those who
repeatedly or blatantly violate standards. Only officers on G-series orders can
punish enlisted members and only through Article 15 or courts-martial processes.
Commander only discipline (Punishment) includes Articles 15, courts-martial,
administrative demotions, and discharge characterization/recommendations. A
simple way to look at Punishment is that something is being done to discourage the
poor behavior from occurring again. It can come in the form of extra duties, loss of
money, loss of freedom, reduction in rank, and less than honorable and
dishonorable discharges. You often hear the word punishment associated with
LOCs, LOAs, LORs, and UIFs. These are NOT punishment but adverse
administrative actions.
