characterization of service
I self-referred to asap for alcohol and counseling. During the course of treatment I was awaiting approval for more counseling at an Intensive Outpatien Treatment facility. While waiting I got into a heated arguement with spouse which led to drinking and drug use. I have never tested hot in my military term which is 16months. So I went back to ASAP and informed them of my actions. They had me do a UA which I informed of drugs use and came back positive. Two hours later my command was informed and proceeded with a UA of their own. I was read a article 15 sought help from JAG which told me I didnt have a case just hope for the best! I ended up with 45 days extra duty and a 2nd chance. Now my commander is pushing a Chapter 14. I went back to JAG spoke with same E5 and he acted like I didnt tell him I was enrolled in ASAP and that couldve dismissed my article 15. I have done 42 days of my extra duty and he said its to late for appeal. What do I do where do I start. I am facing a Chapt. that I have investigated on and believe my situation falls under Limited Use Policy. Which can help me with my characterization of service. I since injured my back while training for deployment and scared I wont get any help afterwards? Please Help....
