that's for summary trial in unit, GCM is much longer
Summary trial by who got 60 days?
JDO max 10 days.
SDO max 15 days.
secondly, AWOL is never go civi prison as there is nth to do with civilian law. civilian courts do not trial AWOL-ees.
Lol, just because the fact that military offence must be charged in military court? Civilian courts do not trial military offences? Court martial is the level of subordinate courts in the sg court system and after any subordinate court (including court martial) decided on a sentence, either the defendent or the prosecution can appeal against the sentence. Where does the case go then? There is no high court for court martial for that matter. The appeal will definitely go to civilian high court.
In fact, by this
press statement from MINDEF, including the Melvyn Tan case, there are many cases (for like defaulting) heard at civilian high court, of which 14 cases resulted in fines. Also it is said that "may now be more defaulters who are 40 or older coming before the courts with the passing of time.", notice the word "courts" is plural, there is only one functioning court martial. To use the word in plural simply means some are tried in civilian courts.
Coming back to the point... I don't think defaulting army got anything to do with civilian law, so does AWOL. If defaulting can be tried in civilian court, I don't see why not AWOL.
as for the charge sheet, the MPs will recommend what charge it is depending on whether they perceive it as AWOL or Desertion. there is only a very fine line between the two. for desertion, the unit usually has no say in the matter as its a whole different platform for punishment altogether.
The documents I only submit to court martial, not MP. I did not receive any reply on any recommendation before the charge was decided on. Maybe the MPs are so slack that they do not do this service. Even if it is defaulter / deserter, the unit files the case before the person is caught with absolutely no advice from MPs. Even if MP tells me why he is caught for, it is because the charge was on file to make him a wanted man. If decision lies with MP, then why is the unit providing with the charge sheet and not MP doing it? By right, recommendation should come before the decision is made. If both decision and recommendation lies with MP, why is the unit involved at all? Evidently, the person still belongs to the unit and the judicial powers still lies with the unit.
in this case, pray tell what information is classified? i dont see anything pertaining to beauty's query that is.
I'm praying the classified information, can you hear it?
beauty is trying to find out what COULD happen. instead of trying to put it in a way so that nothing "restricted" is leaked, you simply brush off the questions with "no answer-classified."
Some people care more about posting classified information, especially if still in service. Others like me couldn't care at all. Why do you care who is in which category? Information is information, even if paraphrasing you are still leaking information. Tell me how to say something restricted while leaking nothing restricted?
