Return to Table of Contents 32 b. Forfeiture of pay Forfeitures are based on grade to which reduced, whether or not reduction is suspended. Forfeitures maybe applied against a soldier’s retired pay. AR 27-10, para. 3-19b(6)(b). c. Admonition and reprimand Officer admonitions and reprimands must be in writing. Enlisted admonitions and reprimands can be oral or in writing. Admonitions and reprimands imposed under NJP should state clearly that they were imposed as punishment under Art. 15. This is to contrast them with admonitions and reprimands given as an administrative matter, which have different procedures. See AR 600-37. Written admonitions and reprimands are prepared in memorandum format and attached to the DA Form 2627. d. Combination of punishments (AR 27-10, para. 3-19b(7)) Commanders can combine punishments. No two or more punishments involving the deprivation of liberty maybe combined to run either consecutively or concurrently, except that restriction and extra duty maybe combined but not to run fora period in excess of the maximum duration allowed for extra duty. For officers, arrest in quarters may not be imposed in combination with restriction. e. When Does Punishment Begin? Punishment generally begins on the day imposed. Unsuspended punishments of reduction and forfeiture take effect on the day imposed. Commanders can delay other punishments for up to 30 days for legitimate reasons (quarters, TDY, brief field problem. However, once commenced, deprivation of liberty punishments will run continuously unless the Soldier is at fault or is incapacitated (cannot pause deprivation of liberty once it has commenced because of afield exercise).
