Legal Question in Military Law in Colorado

I have recently recieved a good conduct medal and re-enlisted in the Army. My unit is trying to prefer charges for allegedly disrespect to a superior officer that happened over a year ago. Can they prefer such a minor charge from a previous contract?

Typically, charges which occurred during one enlistment cannot be tried by court-martial in a subsequent enlistment. The command may try to do this, or take the charges to an Article 15 or a chapter board so you need to be in contact with an attorney who is familiar with these rules.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions.
