See Article 112a, Uniform Code of Military Justice. Maximum punishment at a General Court-Martial is reduction to E-1, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for up to 5 years.
Ultimately the punishment potential will depend upon how your command elects to address it (i.e., with an Article 15 (NJP) or at one of the levels of court-martial.
