Re: Government Computers

Yes, sending those pictures is a violation of various Navy rules on computer use.

This is a public website. You should be careful what you say on here.

Yes, you could be subject to NJP, CM, or some other adverse action. Also, it might be possible your computers will be taken looking for CP.

Re: Government Computers

Depending on the kind of use and how serious they want to make it, it could be sent to a court-martial, NJP or a discharge board. In any event, any charge or action could seriously affect your career. Do NOT make any statement or talk to anyone about what you did or did not do until after you have spoken with an attorney. DO NOT say or admit anything, at least not yet. ASK FOR AN ATTORNEY so that you are protected.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
