if Sailors didn’t have the discipline, self-control, and
efficiency they have been taught.
Our justice system has its own checks and balances.
For example, if a person does something wrong, the
commanding officer is restricted as to the type of
punishment he/she may award. A person also has a right
to appeal punishment awarded—a right all people
enjoy. A person also has the right to communicate with
the commanding officer.
Our justice system protects us. Because of naval
regulations and standards of conduct, we know what the
Navy expects of us. Our conduct, both on and off duty,
should reflect our pride in the Navy and in our unit.
