An article 92 is almost always included, and often the only charge in the Navy if handled by the captain and not court martial.
Especially in that case, Article 92 could be anything.
Like, if they say "don't buy booze for people who aren't 21" and you do and get caught?
That's an article 92.
Get caught shoplifting Robitussin because no one will buy you booze?
That's an article 92.
Stay up for days in a row because of a WoW addiction?
Believe it or not also an article 92.
The Navy has the most "failure to obey a general order" charges because of article 92.
The most ridiculous I saw was a guy got a sun burn so bad he couldn't work for a couple days. Got an Article 92. If the military member agrees to Captains Mast over Court Martial, the captain can do what they want. And Navy Captains tend to like broad interpretations of what they and anyone else can do.
Quick edit:
Most ridiculous as in funny.
For fucked up ridiculous, I knew a girl that broke her foot on the ship while in port. Onboard medical said it wasnt because if it was broke shed get rotated off the ship because she couldn't be in her work area.
She said she was going to the on base hospital after work and they told her not to.
The next day she shows up in a walking boot with a note from the hospital about her foot being broke...
Got taken to captains mast for disobeying a direct order and lost. So confined the ship, demoted, pay taken. All because she went to the hospital for a broken foot. When she should have went to shore duty for a couple months to let it to heal.
I started telling junior sailors that Captain's Mast was something they had to agree to, and that the Captain would be unlikely to take anything to Court Martial because it makes them look bad.
I was warned by a "nice" officer that it could technically be considered mutiny...
And Article 92.
You're overall point stands, but I don't know that I believe that someone got an article 92 over a sunburn. I've heard some variation of that from a bunch of people and even may be guilty of having spread it myself, but I have never actually seen it and couldn't find anything from a cursory search. I'll edit and apologize if some proof is put down, but, again, I don't think your actual point is diminished, regardless. Also, sick Parks and Rec reference.
