"Any officer or cadet convicted of unbecoming conduct shall be
dismissed...."
Misconduct may be official or unofficial.


ARTICLE 96.

GENERAL ARTICLE, THE CATCH ALL:

Punishment: Court-martial.

"... all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good
military discipline.
All conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the military
service.
All crimes and offences not capital shall be taken cognizance of
by
(1) General,
(2) Special,
(3) Summary court-martials according to the nature and degree
of the offense and punished....
Article of War 96 covers all crimes and is handy when no other
Article of War fits. It is wise, however, to use this Article
sparingly on Charges, finding if possible the exact Article
necessary to cover the case at hand."
