Hi kaladorn,

My apologies for the delay.

Let me ask a followup:

Who does it apply to?
Enlisted and officers in the USN and USMC.
USN only or does it cover attached USMC ?
The USMC is part of the Department of the Navy. The CO of the USMC detachment assigned to a ship would usually be the person conducting the Captain's Mast, however the ship's CO can also hold a Captain's Mast for the USMC.
Does it only apply to non-commissioned ranks?
Technically, all naval personnel can be judged by a Captain's mast.
Does it include warrant officers?
Yes.
Can officers have their commission revoked or only be reduced in rank?
I was an NCO and never saw an officer go to Captain's Mast so my comments are probably OTL.

My impression is that an officer can not have their commission revoked but there will be a strong suggestion that the offender resign their commission. In theory the officer can be busted in pay grade/rank, however the more likely course of action would be they would be barred from further promotions and not allowed to re-enlist.

Hi kaladorn and Alex,

A Captain's Mast is a legal proceeding that the ship's Commanding Officer (CO)holds when a sailor (enlisted or officer) violates the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The hearing is non-judicial and the CO's judgement leaves no criminal record in the sailor's record. However, the punishments while in port can be restriction of not more than 60 days, extra duties for not more than 45 days, reduction in grade (rank), correctional custody for not more than 30 days, confinement on bread and water for not more than 3 days. At sea or ashore forfeiture of not more than half a month's pay per month for 2 months, or detention of half a month's pay per 3 months. The reduction in rank also throws your advancement cycle out of whack.

Administrative punishment (vs. a legal proceeding) if I understand correctly. It's not something you want to face. I believe it exists so that crews can deal with bad choices without having to leave too much of a permanent mark in somebody's personnel jacket.

Tom,

What does "Captain's mast" translate to?  An official bollocking?
