I’m assuming enlisted since it says sailor and not officer, so I can make a guess. Captain’s Mast, busted down a rank, loss of half pay for a month or two, restriction for a month or two, extra duties for up to 45 days.
If I was a gambling man I’d say the full 2 months at half pay, busted down, and the full 45 day with restriction and extra duties without the extra 15 days of restriction along with an official letter of reprimand that stays in their service record. The odds of them getting an honorable discharge goes down due to that, but it’s possible if they turn their shit around. That last part can haunt them for life if they end up with anything less than general under honorable conditions.
Restriction if the sailor is deployed means they stay on the ship when everyone else goes home or on shore leave. If you’re on base you don’t get to leave the base and many of the bases have a specific building where those folks are kept together. It’s kind of like being in recruit training without the extra instruction and without most of the forced exercise, plus you can still drink soda and eat garbage in the galley. In both cases you don’t get a lot of unsupervised time.
I wonder what the punishment was.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply - I appreciate it!
Unless trump wins the election
Not really. He likes people who don’t get caught.
He is going to be made a GOP demagogue
Promoted to “Rear” Admiral.
