In an effort to keep you informed of military discipline and administrative matters that have occurred in Naval District Washington, the Waterline will periodically publish Court-Martial and Administrative Separation results.

Court Martial:

ENS, USN, In a General Court-Martial, members convicted an Ensign of violating articles 83 (fraudulent appointment), 107 (4 false official statements), and article 134 (wearing unauthorized rank). The Ensign received a sentence of confinement for 30 months and a dismissal from United States Navy.
