Misbehavior of Sentinel Any sentinel or lookout who is found drunk or sleeping upon his post, or leaves it before being regularly relieved, shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by d e a t h o r s u c h o t h e r p u n i s h m e n t a s a court-martial may direct, but if the offense is at any other time, by such punishment other than death as a court-martial may direct. Some actual or imaginary line does not limit a post, nor is it confined to those times when you may be on watch as a sentry. This article covers all periods when you are standing a watch of any kind, such as guarding stores or prisoners or acting as a bow lookout. It also covers periods when you are performing any other duty that requires you to remain alert at all times. A sentinel on post who is found asleep or drunk is guilty of a serious offense. In time of war, the offense may be punishable by death. For persons in the armed forces, drunkenness is prejudicial to good order and discipline whenever and wherever it appears. Being drunk in public, whether a person is in uniform or civilian clothes, may bring discredit upon the service, while being drunk on station is a breach of military discipline. But being drunk while on duty as a sentinel or lookout in time of war endangers every person in the command. Art. 114. Dueling Any person subject to this chapter who fights or promotes, or is concerned in or connives at fighting a duel, or who, having knowledge of a challenge sent or about to be sent, fails to report the fact promptly to the proper authority, shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. Art. 115. Malingering Any person subject to this chapter who for the purpose of avoiding work, duty, or service— (1) feigns illness, physical disablement, mental lapse or derangement; or (2) intentionally inflicts self-injury; shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. Malingering is an offense defined as any act to avoid duty by feigning (pretending) to be ill or physically/mentally disabled. Art. 116. Riot or Breach of Peace Any person subject to this chapter who causes or participates in any riot or breach of the peace shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. 2-30 Student Notes:
