Uniformed Code of Military Justice
The Uniformed Code of Military Justice was established in order to create a better environment for all members of the United States Armed Forces. The following rules and regulations shall be enforceable by any Military Police Officer, excluding Cadets unless under supervision.

Members of Senior Command and Department of Defense must be addressed as “Sir” or “Ma’am” depending on their respective gender.
Warrant Officers of any United States Armed Forces branch are not considered a Commissioned Officer. They shall be addressed by rank until successful completion of the Officer Accession Course.
Developers may be addressed by their rank or their name.
You may address any rank lower than yours by their rank or name.

Ranks & their powers
Non-Commissioned Officers may enforce the law by issuing orders to people below their rank. NCO’s may give Non-Judicial Punishments (NJPs) to people below their rank. Non-Commissioned Officers may enter restricted areas such as (Senior Command area, Officer Area, or any other rank specific zone) to warn a trespasser that is breaking the law.
Warrant Officers of the United States Armed Forces are not classified as officers. They are considered non-commissioned officers that are actively taking the Officer Ascension Course and do not have the rights of an officer until successful completion of OAC. 
The United States Military Police may enforce the law whenever someone breaks any section of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), this includes their superiors. They may handcuff a person and put them into a cooling off period, in which the Military Police officer may detain a person for no maximum amount of time. However, the MP officer must have a justified reason for the detainment/arrest. If such time, a detainee shall leave in handcuffs shall result in an insubordination charge.
Officers and Generals have the power to promote, demote, discipline, issue NJPs as well as enforce overall laws of the United States Armed Forces alongside the Military Police. The Commanding Officer and Executive Officer of a division/sub-division/unit, etc.. may make specific rules/SOP manuals for their own members to follow. Officers and Generals are expected to lead by example. Commissioned officers and flag officers may give NJP’s and report people below their rank. Officers assigned to a respective division/corps/platoon etc… are expected to enforce the rules of their own members. The Military Police is not obligated to enforce any rules outside of this handbook or the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. The Military Police may only intervene and enforce laws of a specific branch/unit when asked to do so by the unit commanding officer or the Joint Chief of Staff of their respective branch.
The Joint Chief of Staff and Vice Joint Chief of Staff of their respective branch shall have the authority to appoint whomever they decide to be part of their headquarters staff. The Joint Chief of Staff and the Vice Joint Chief of Staff may also create, publish, and make enforceable, rules and branch SOP’s. These SOP’s may not step outside the rules and guidelines of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice and the United States Armed Forces.
Members of the Senior Command are immune from enforceable actions of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, these ranks are as follows:
President of the United States
Vice President of the United States
Secretary of Defense
Deputy Secretary of Defense
Secretary of the Army
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Vice Chairman are oversight of the Department of Defense and are responsible for coordinating meetings, and appointing new Joint Chiefs of Staff with the approval of Senior Command.

Rights
You may use your rights at any time without the fear of punishment. Threatening to punish someone for using their rights will be seen as corruption. Military Police Officer+ may temporarily take away your rights during a state of emergency.
You may only be punished for using your rights after you have been informed that there is a state of emergency, and your rights have been revoked.
Right for peaceful protest.
Warnings received for criminal activity only last a day and can’t be used against you for any day following.
Each member has the right to complain to a higher rank.
Each member has the right to notify a Military Police member once a crime occurs.
Each member has a right to his or her own opinion and may exercise their opinions publicly within the guidelines in Military Law.
Criminals have the right to know why they are being detained or reported by Military Police and the MP must fully explain the crime and how it happened.
Criminals have the right to request the evidence and reasoning for a warning given to them. The MP member responsible for the warning must supply both the reasoning and evidence if they have it.
Anyone under the rank of [E-4] must go through the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy Course provided by the United States Military Education to progress any higher in the United States Armed Forces.
[E-4] and higher must get approval from their unit commanding officer before leaving their unit. [E-4] and higher must get approval from their respective Joint Chief of Staff before leaving their branch.

Officers whose main accounts are banned may enter the Officer Area on the alt they are using in the time they are banned.
Civilians named “CLEARED” enter any area of the Military Academy except the Senior Command building and Officer Area unless authorized by BGEN+. Civilians may be killed or have base entry revoked for failing to follow orders.
Any Military Police member has the right to revoke retired personnel (RP) privileges into the Officer Area if they commit frequent misconduct. 
Any member at the Military Academy has the right to defend themselves from any hostile civilians that point a weapon or present a danger to any other member.
Military Police have the right to enforce the law. This includes writing reports and investigating criminals. Once an investigation starts, it does not end until either the report is submitted on USAFRblx.com or another punishment is given by the original investigator. During the investigation, people may not undermine the Military Police and give another punishment during any part of the investigation process. Any interference that happens during the investigation will be counted as Corruption. 
Low ranks [E-1] - [E-3] may leave their branch/unit at any time.
Non-Commissioned Officers have the right to request a transfer from a unit/branch in a 1 week time period.
Officers have been given the right to internally take care of lower ranks in their unit/branch. Officers may not undermine MP or other officers while doing this.
Finally, trolls have no rights. Only the MP High Command and Senior Command members may identify someone as a troll. Trolling does not count if someone is just having fun in an immature way. Trolls are repeated offenders of the same things such as disrupting USAF events by breaking the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, and typically “trolling.” Trolls are not permitted to be above the rank of [E-3], and if they are they must appeal to be undeclared immediately. If they are denied, their rank can be revoked until they are undeclared.
A person may not be punished twice or more for the same crime.

Admin Privileges
Enforcement of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice and execution of duties may require admin commands to be used. Therefore some people will be trusted with admin privileges. [E-5]+ may be given admin by an officer and [E-9]+ get admin automatically. The rule of thumb is to use the least amount of admin commands to accomplish your goal. This means that if there is ever a situation where you are required to use admin in a way that is not listed in here then it is allowed if you can explain your reasoning and why you couldn’t use alternatives. We can’t prepare for everything but the guidelines below should be followed as closely as possible to prevent confusion. Please note that you can’t use these commands just because you’re allowed to, you need to have a valid reason for executing any command. In a case where an admin command is used where it doesn’t cause any harm to the USAF and follows good reason, no punishment shall be served.

Class B = 5 minutes in jail

Before any punishment is reported, the offender and anyone involved with the situation must be contacted about it to ensure an accurate and unbiased report. Any report issued without following this rule should be removed immediately. If a crime is not reported within 7 days of it being committed, the report will be invalidated. In this case of evidence within being withheld, the 7 day timer will start the second evidence is made available. The Commandant of the Military Police or Senior Command may override this rule. By definition, a serious crime is a crime that has a 4 class increase. Crimes that are class 4 increase cannot be punished via a NJP.

This basically means that a person should not do something that would clearly cause some kind of trouble or where their actions could have some form of a negative impact. Even if it by other USAF specifications is not technically a violation. They may be reported for immaturity, as it is immature and unprofessional to not think about the consequences before ones own actions. This only applies if no other part of USAF is violated.

Uniform & Appearance


Non-Judicial Punishments
Non-Judicial Punishments may be given by an NCO+ to ranks below themselves. MP may give NJP's to their superiors. Non-Judicial Punishments don't require proof. They do not have to be tracked; they will not end up on a criminal record. Non-Judicial Punishments are mandatory orders. Not doing/completing Non-Judicial Punishments will cause you to be written up for insubordination and the original crime that was committed. The same goes with MP. if MP gives out a Non-Judicial Punishment, it must be followed. Senior Command may punish anyone within reason.
All Non-Judicial Punishments are not to be questioned as Corruption unless: It is given to you and you have done literally nothing wrong and can be proven, it is an extremely harsh punishment, or if it is given without clear instruction of what has been done wrong. 
If a person refuses to do an NJP if they believe it's unfair a person has the right to question a NJP and ask for a MP superior (Unless they are an officer) to ask if the NJP is reasonable for the crime that was committed. An NJP needs to be on the same level as the crime. 1JJ for treason will be counted as corruption.
Non-Judicial Punishments MUST always be followed.
Current List of Valid NJP's
HJs
JJs
Hell Laps
Apology
Water Jacks
Extra drills
Word jail (A jail where you have to say each word to go onto the next word normally given between 100-5000) Senior Command+ only may use this NJP. 
⚠️Again, I repeat...Non-Judicial Punishments MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED.

Additional Information
What is the Uniformed Code of Military Justice?
The Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is the law we use in all of our games under the United States Armed Forces. This law provides structure and balance. It should be expected that this will be enforce at all times in any USAF games. 
How to interpret the UCMJ?
When interpreting the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, you must always have common sense. If you don't have common sense, then you aren't going to get far in this group. You shouldn't follow it rigorously, but you should still stay in the line and not cause trouble. For instance, you can be a bit immature like cracking jokes and all that. But don't go around screaming "XD poop poop head". This paragraph is mainly for MP. You may also not use this paragraph to get out of a punishment.
Questions about the UCMJ?
Go to a Military Police with a question about the UCMJ. If they don't know then go to an officer. If they can't answer it then we need to change something in UCMJ.
What is a State Of Emergency (SOE)?
A State Of Emergency or SOE for short is basically to combat situations that can cause harm to the group. Something that could trigger a SOE is a riot or a mass exploit attack. When a SOE is triggered your rights are revoked (Check rights for more information) and admin abuse laws are relaxed (To combat the situation) but misusing the commands can get you a report. These will not happen often and hopefully never at all.
Only Senior Command+ may authorize a State of Emergency.
What is Honored Personnel?
Honored Personnel is an honorary title given to USAF members who have dedicated a significant amount of time and service that has aided to get the CA where it is today. Those with the role will be given special recognition and have access to the Officer Area regardless of rank. People who have been excommunicated may never receive this role unless decided upon by the President of the United States. If reported, you will lose your Honored Personnel status.
Note: If you lose your Honored Personnel status because of a report, you must wait until you are back at Class A then reapply to regain the status.
What happens if I'm Excommunicated?
Once your excommunicated you won't be allowed into any USAF related Discords and you'll be forced to appeal on USAFrblx.com. If your appeal is denied, you'll have to wait three months before appealing again. Appealing again before the three-month period is up will just result in the time being reset.
Being excommunicated a second time makes it a permanent and unappealable ban from the group.
General information:
A "merc" (mercenary) is someone from a different regiment or someone who is a non-regimental joining a regiment they are not apart of to fight within a PR. This does not include mixed IPR's. Both PRing regiments need to confirm the mercenary otherwise they cannot take part. 
For alts permission needs to be from the division/unit you're joining in and from the Joint Chief of Staff of your respective branch you're joining with the alt. There is a rank limitation and its been put as Sergeant.
