with federal convictions for stuff that wouldn't be a crime in the civilian world.
Show up to work late?
Don't come to work for 3 days without arranging for vacation day in advance?
Call in sick without reporting for duty first?
Fail a random drug test?
Don't pay your personal bills?
I sent a guy to prison for 15 years for essentially 1) having a garage sale 2) saying he was a supervisor when he was a clerk 3) failing to report to work for 15 days 4) getting into a fight downtown... in UCMJ terms, he 1) black marketed a VCR he bought in the PX, 2) impersonated an NCO by wearing SGT's stripes to leave post, 3) deserted and then 3) beat up a South Korean national in a bar fight.
All that got him 15 years at Ft Leavenworth and a felony record.
