020 United States v. Easterly

I’ve detailed some of the concerning relationship patterns young folks who join the military engage in- namely, getting engaged awfully fast and married terribly young. The arrangement can be dicey- not every marriage survives the peaks and valleys of military life. In 2016, Senior Airman Chase Easterly began dating someone he really liked and felt like he might have a future with. Less than a week after their first date, he devised a plan. He packed a bag and showed up, ready to surprise her at her home. Easterly was there to embrace the "until death do us part" portion without the complications of the rest of the vows. I used the appellate court opinions: AFCCA (1)(2), CAAF, as well as the briefs (1)(2). I referenced information about: Schizophrenia and other service-disqualifying diagnoses, doctor-patient privilege (1)(2), JBPHH, Landstuhl. Thank you for listening!
