OK. First off, if you are getting beat on then you need to report it. Secondly, he will probably get kicked out. He might even get jail time.

More than likely a Company Grade Article 15...probably reduction in rank, some money taken, 14 to 30 days extra duty...maybe a day or two in the brig...and counseling, Anger Management.... |

Don't pay any attention to these people who say, "...they'll stand behind him." Maybe 30 years ago, but not today.
It treated as an extremely serious matter.
His best hope is to work out a deal with the civilian authorities that puts him into a pretrial diversion program where he gets counseling and does community service but walks away with no conviction.
If he gets a domestic abuse conviction in a civil court he's looking at being booted out of Marines, especially if his record is less than spotless to start with. |

My experience was that he landed in a "civilian" jail and then was sent to the brig on base. He was tried by the military, received a dishonorable discharge and did about 48 months, got divorced, lost his family and was pretty much left with nothing. Personally, if a man (military or not) hits a woman, he isn't a man at all AND he deserves whatever happens to him.
I was an abused wife for 3 long years. Trust me, it's time to get out after the first time. They are never truly sorry and they will never really change!
Good luck! |

Well he could loose his security clearance, he could loose pay, and you'll still end up with him with less pay. goodluck |

He would get a kick in the a** if I was the wife. But since we are talking military consequences I don't know what they'd do. |

Same thing that should happen to a wife that hits her husband. |

You might get a article 15 out of it. |

My Opinion...You Asked

I would take the advice Kacky gave you. The military is not going to do much about it. Report it to the Civilian Authorities. Then it’s on record. I'm currently in the military and had a friend whose husband use to beat her and it took A LOT before they did anything to him. When they did it was a slap on the wrist. Take Kacky's advice. |

More then likely, they'll make him stay at the barracks as punishment. I know someone who threw something at their spouse, mps were called and he was in the barracks for 6 weeks. Hope it all turns out ok for you guys..... |

depends who he was arrested by civil police or military police? |

Holy crap....feel sorry for you! After reading your other questions here, I guess the honeymoon question and all that is a little irrelevant now. How long did you even know each other before you got married? |

He could end up with a Dishonorable discharge and face charges on the domestic violence charge. It really depends on the Marines and how they want to handle the situation...
My friends husband was discharged and then ended up servicing time in jail on the charge...marriage ended in divorce anyway. |

There's no garauntee that the military will dispense what you feel may be justice, however, they are typically harder on their criminals than civilian courts... especially in cases like this (assuming it's fairly open and shut).
I would press for what you can get from the civilian side. If the military feels he got off easy, they'll find a way to make his life difficult.
As an E-3 though, know that they'll likely try to reform him rather than break him. |

The few, the proud, the brave? He should be discharged. |

I know in the USN if you get charged with DV you are not able to carry a weapon at all, not sure how long for but i have seen it last 6 years and carry on to the next command of the guy i know. So if his rate involves him carrying a weapon which i believe all marines do then it will hurt his job significantly.

it really depends. he could lose rank. he could go to the brig... did anything else happen? did u get arrested for anything? did you also hit him? it depends on the situation. |

he gets into a HUGE amount of trouble, worst case is he loses rank and or his career.
You do know that at the bases there are VERY helpful places that can point you in the right direction and get you both help if you think the marriage can be saved................or want it saved etc.
Talk to the command Chaplin as he has some real power but the chance to be discreet...........
IF the base / mil. police arrests him you have NO chance of it not going further up the chain of command.
And Hun if this is NOT the first time he has done this to you, cut your losses and get out whilst you still can...............I still loved my 1st husband very much the day I left him BU I knew if I did not leave then I would be leaving in a body bag............. |

He will probably have 1/2 his pay suspended, may spend time confined to quarters, be reduced in rank or discharged. |

Much harsher than civilian courts, let me tell you.
Civilian courts may give him probation; military courts will likely give him jail time and a financial punishment as well. .....The military court will probably reduce his military rank, too. |

depends on who his superiors are.
even a speeding ticket shows up on a report and he can get in trouble at work for it.
my husband got a speeding ticket one day and went directly to his Top and told him. it was no big deal, but domestic violence is serious especially in the Marine Corps. you don't cheat on your wife and you don't hit her either. big no nos
he may get demoted, he may get pay cut, he may have to go to counciling. i can assure you that this will follow him and will come up every time he is up for a promotion. i can't see him getting much farther than a sergeant. maybe a staff sgt if he's in for a very long time and majorly proves himself.
don't feel bad, though. he needs to learn a lesson.
take care.
edit:
i guess from reading the other answers that there isn't a clear answer to your quesiton. it will be up to his command and what they want to do with him. |

Removal of Partail Rank, Dishonorable discharge (conduct unbecoming a soldier), no fine - straight jail time and automatic restraining order. |

Since hitting his wife is not an act performed within the military activity, it should not be an offense to be adjudged by a court martial but by an ordinary court, or else where do we leave constitutional rights such as equal protection or equal treatment under the law and the like? |

If a Marine hits his wife, the consequences are his problem. He earned them. The wife needs to stop being concerned with the husband's problems and start being concerned about her own and those of whatever kids she may have.
Abuse is about control as is rape. Both are criminal acts committed by a person who does not truly love the one they are beating. The abuser is just using that individual.
I would suggest the following site for abuse victims: http://www.drirene.com/index.asp |

well if your christina aguliera - you write a song about your x marine daddy weho physically and mentally abused you - awhixch then forces them to to write a public letter of apology, opersonally id see the wives liason officer/liason officer and tell him her your domestic violence woes - they have a way of sorting these things out |

i think they get kicked out! (my dad told me) ( hes in the army) |

Well personally i think if a woman steps up and hits a man she's just put herself into a mans position ..
You should face some consequences for hitting him.
The Lance Corporal at the very least will probably be reduced in rank, lose pay and probably be confined to base.
Personally.. You both need some anger managment counseling and need to learn if you hit someone in anger male or female.. you're probably going to get smacked back to say the least... |

I'm sure the military will stand behind their man.
Who knows though.....it seems like more and more the military is making their troops take responsibility for their actions. |

My experience is only with the Coast Guard, but they tend to stand behind their boy. Report him to the civilian police and don't let them pass it off to the military.
Any attempt by you to moderate his punishment once you have reported it, is VERY co-dependent. Sick, sick and the games are far from over. |

Mine was a gunny got arrested on base at CL, got that standard anger management, after he had tried to kill himself a few years prior, after seeing the anger management guy I had to go in too, the marine must have told a wild tale, because they both were going for my throat, I walked out in tears, so this is how a victim gets treated, it just got put down that I refused to cooperate oh rah go marines, of course how I could explain how horrible the divorce was, poor guy no money in his pockets after paying everybody off, my crimes were being a good mother wife and working hard, but like he says all the kids got my defective gene, must be the tough as shit gene, cause I ain't done yet |
