What are the consequences of going to work drunk in the Navy?

Question

Someone I know got caught at work (on base) drunk. He has already had some other problems with alcohol and not showing up.

Answer 1

It would depend on his rank.  An enlisted man might be court marshaled, sentenced to a term in the brig or prison and/or maybe given a Bad conduct discharge.

An officer would get a letter of reprimand.

Answer 2

With prior alchol related offences he has a 50/50 shot of staying in the navy provided he is recommended and he volunteers for alchol rehab.

Drinking on duty is a very serious offence. The Captian will give him the max punishment if he stays in the navy. Max punishment is 45 days restriction, 45 days extra duty, reduction in rank by one pay grade and half pay for 2 months.

If he fails to sucessfully complete alchol rehab, he will definately get an OTH or BCD.
