Hmm, so just out of curiousity since you're still subject to the UCMJ as a retiree, can your respective branch show up with a uranalysis test and if you pop hot take your retirement??
This is a serious question, as I was not aware you're still subject to follow UCMJ guidelines, I've never heard of this before and would think many folks would be screwed and that the Govt would be trying to push something like that..
No, you do not have to submit to jack. You can only be called back to duty if there is hard evidence that you committed a serious crime back before your retirement and has now come into light.
Those cases are VERY rare but do happen from time to time. I've worked one personally. The provision falls under UCMJ Article 2, Section (a) (5). Specifically, under 10 USC Chapter 47, section 802(a)(3).
Dude was NOT happy. :rockon:
But that said, there has not been (to my knowledge) any precedents set on any cases involving retired members from the active component being brought back up to face UCMJ charges based solely on drug use. I would assume finding a prosecutor willing to take that case would be one in a million.
