Discipline is to be administrated and shall take place in accord with the provisions of this section. Failure to abide by the provisions of this section, either procedurally or substantively shall be grounds for review by the appropriate body or individual and itself an actionable offense if a particular individual is responsible for an intentional breach of this article in the administration or enforcement of discipline. | ||

In such cases, it is inefficient for the officer's home captain to levy discipline, as he was not present at the location of said action, and he does not control the systems by which discipline may be levied. While methods of discipline are outlined below, it should be apparent that notifying the offending member's commanding officer of the infraction immediately is required. Therefore, in the following situations, discipline is at the sole discretion of the officers listed herein: | ||

Discipline may be permanent or temporary, but must fit the severity of the action and must call upon the history of offending actions in this location. | ## Forums: Discipline is to be levied by the head administrative officer, or by a moderator which is given the task by the head administrative officer.

# Discipline of Cadets, Ensigns, Lt. Jr. Grade, Lt., and Lt. Commanders (as well as all corresponding marine ranks): The discipline of such officers is left to the Sole Discretion of the vessel command officer, as long as said officer officially holds the rank of commander or above and has been officially recognized as being the command officer of said vessel. It is recognized that in the course of commanding vessels, such decisions must be made on an expedited basis to preserve discipline and for that reason the command officers are vested with extraordinary discretion in this regard. Discipline levied in this fashion is subject to the appeals processes discussed hereafter. | # Discipline of Cadets, Ensigns, Lt. Jr. Grade, Lt., and Lt.
