a different article), but does include duties of a standby nature. A person whose mental or physical abilities are impaired by either liquor or drugs may be considered drunk. Art. 112a. Wrongful Use, Possession, etc., of Controlled Substances (a)   Any person subject to this chapter who wrongfully uses, possesses, manufactures, distributes, imports into the customs territory of the United States, exports from the United States, or introduces into an installation, vessel, vehicle, or aircraft used by or under the control of the armed forces a substance described in subsection (b) shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. (b) The   substances   referred   to   in subsection (a) are the following: (1)    Opium, heroin, cocaine, amphetamine,  lysergic  acid  diethylamide [LSD],  methamphetamine,  phencyclidine, barbituric  acid,  and  marijuana  and  any compound   or   derivative   of   any   such substance. (2)    Any  substance  not  specified  in clause  (1)  that  is  listed  on  a  schedule  of controlled  substances  prescribed  by  the President for the purposes of this article. (3) Any other substance not specified in clause (1) or contained on a list prescribed by the President under clause (2) that is listed in schedules I through V of section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812). Don’t do drugs! Just say NO! Art. 113. Misbehavior of Sentinel Any  sentinel  or  lookout  who  is  found drunk  or  sleeping  upon  his  post,  or  leaves  it before  being  regularly  relieved,  shall  be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, but if the offense is at any other time, by such punishment other than death as a court-martial may direct. Some actual or imaginary line does not limit a post, nor is it confined to those times when you may be on watch as a sentry. This article covers all periods when you are standing a watch of any kind, such as guarding stores or prisoners or acting as a bow lookout. It also covers periods when you are performing any other duty that requires you to remain alert at all times. A sentinel on post who is found asleep or drunk is guilty of a serious offense. In time of war, the offense may be punishable by death. For persons in the armed forces,  drunkenness  is  prejudicial  to  good  order  and discipline  whenever  and  wherever  it  appears.  Being drunk  in  public,  whether  a  person  is  in  uniform  or civilian clothes, may bring discredit upon the service, while  being  drunk  on  station  is  a  breach  of  military discipline. But being drunk while on duty as a sentinel or lookout in time of war endangers every person in the command. Art. 114. Dueling Any  person  subject  to  this  chapter  who fights  or  promotes,  or  is  concerned  in  or connives  at  fighting  a  duel,  or  who,  having knowledge of a challenge sent or about to be sent,  fails  to  report  the  fact  promptly  to  the proper  authority,  shall  be  punished  as  a court-martial may direct. Art. 115. Malingering Any person subject to this chapter who for the  purpose  of  avoiding  work,  duty,  or service— (1) feigns illness, physical disablement, mental lapse or derangement; or (2) intentionally inflicts self-injury; shall  be  punished  as  a  court-martial  may direct. Malingering  is  an  offense  defined  as  any  act  to avoid  duty  by  feigning  (pretending)  to  be  ill  or physically/mentally disabled. 2-29 Student Notes:
