A commander may initiate administrative demotion actions after a member re-enlists if the commander was not aware of the facts and circumstances until after the term of enlistment expired. This means that if the commander only becomes aware of events or actions that occurred before the current enlistment after the member has re-enlisted, they can still take administrative demotion actions. This allows the commander to address any misconduct or issues that were not known at the time of re-enlistment.Rate this question:

Conduct unbecoming an officer refers to behavior that is unprofessional or inappropriate for an officer, but it is usually addressed through disciplinary actions or other means, rather than demotion.Rate this question:

You change members' duty status to "failure to go" when they have an unauthorized absence of:
- A.
24 hours or less
- B.
More than 24 hours
- C.
3 duty days
- D.
4 duty days
Correct Answer
A. 24 hours or lessExplanation
When members have an unauthorized absence for 24 hours or less, their duty status is changed to "failure to go." This means that if a member is absent without permission for a period of time that is less than or equal to 24 hours, their duty status is updated to reflect their failure to report for duty. This is likely done to ensure that proper documentation is maintained and that appropriate actions can be taken to address the unauthorized absence.Rate this question:

Are in civil confinement
- B.
Are known to have purchased airline tickets
- C.
Have received counseling for personal problems
- D.
Have action pending on a precious unauthorized absence
Correct Answer
D. Have action pending on a precious unauthorized absenceExplanation
If a member has a pending action for a previous unauthorized absence and they are absent again for less than 30 days, their duty status can be changed to "deserter". This means that if they have already been disciplined for being absent without authorization in the past and they repeat the same behavior within a certain timeframe, they can be considered as deserters. This is a way to address repeated unauthorized absences and ensure that the necessary actions are taken to handle such situations.Rate this question:
