For how long can an Article 15 punishment be displayed on the unit bulletin board?

The duration for which an Article 15 punishment can be displayed on the unit bulletin board is limited to 7 days. This policy is established to ensure that the punishment serves its intended purpose of maintaining discipline and accountability without being punitive beyond a reasonable timeframe. The display period allows for awareness among unit members while respecting the privacy and dignity of the individual being punished. After 7 days, the information is typically removed to prevent any ongoing stigmatization or undue influence on the member's career and personal life. This helps to balance the need for accountability within the unit while allowing individuals to move forward following their punishment.
