Let me clear this up for you all since Goodrum is talking out of his ass. Joseph John Schmidt III is a Chief Petty Officer. That's an E-7. An E-7 is ENLISTED. Therefore, he can be dishonorably discharged. As he's a non-commisioned officer. Not a commissioned officer. Hope this clears things up. Vince you should do your due diligence first because when you dont, things like this happen. You were completely wrong. Not only that if found guilty under the UCMJ, he could totally lose his retirement but imo a situation like this wouldn't happen. Demotion yes. Bad conducted discharge yes. Well see.
