Punishment for 'missing' Shiloh sailor likely capped at 30 days in the brig
By: Mark Faram, July 18, 2017
The decision by top Navy officials not to seek a court-martial for Gas Turbine Systems Technician (Mechanical) Fireman Peter Mims severely restricted their options for disciplining the sailor who was initially thought to be lost at sea in June but was found a week later hiding in an engine room on board his ship.
In opting to take Mims to a secretive admiral’s mast on July 13, Navy leaders likely limited Mims’ maximum punishment to 30 days in the brig, half his pay for two months and an administrative discharge, according to Navy regulations.
