Where would CO indicate he wants a Chief's Mast instead of NJP?

• A. In the notification of accused for disposition at captain's mast
• B. In the record of NJP
• C. In the alternate disposition section
• D. In the final discharge paperwork

Answer: (C)

Disciplining a sailor at the command level offers two paths: NJP under Article 15 and Chief's Mast, an administrative disposition. The CO signals a preference for Chief’s Mast by using the alternate disposition section of the disposition package. That section is specifically there to record an alternative to NJP, allowing the CO to choose Chief’s Mast as the route for handling the alleged offense instead of formal NJP. The other options don’t fit because the notification document is what informs the accused about the impending disposition process, the record of NJP is the formal record if NJP is imposed, and final discharge paperwork is unrelated to the disciplinary decision.
