Can I get away with the lightest possible punishment for military dual phone disciplinary action?

Hello. I am a military specialist attorney at Daeryun Law Firm (LLP).

Regarding the matter you inquired about, cases of so-called 'dual phone' being detected for violating mobile phone use regulations during military service exceed 10,000 cases each year and occur frequently.

To use a mobile phone within the military, a security app must be installed mandatorily and there are also use time restrictions. Violations make one subject to disciplinary action for violating use rules.

In particular, like the writer, there are many cases of being detected during night roll calls or surprise inspections. The military views this as a clear regulation violation for security and discipline maintenance.

Under current military human rights guidelines, soldiers' mobile phone use is in principle guaranteed, but some acts such as military secret leakage, inappropriate filming and distribution, illegal gambling and monetary transactions, and acts disrupting military order are strictly prohibited.

In military dual phone disciplinary action, 'dual phone' does not immediately lead to severe disciplinary action, but varies depending on individual cases.

If it was simply used for external contact or used briefly out of personal need and detected for the first time, there are also cases where it is concluded with relatively minor disciplinary action such as warning, caution, confinement, or reprimand.

However, if a dual phone was used repeatedly over a long period, or if there are circumstances of security filming or leakage, there is also the possibility of being referred to the disciplinary committee and receiving severe disciplinary action.

Since severe disciplinary action cases due to mobile phone use violations have also greatly increased recently, the gravity of the case must be weighed depending on the writer's specific circumstances.

If you feel anxious, you can consult with an expert and discuss specific stories together to find countermeasures.

Additionally, if you used the dual phone due to unavoidable circumstances, the appearance of pleading and reflecting on that point would also be important.

Since initial statements and reflective attitudes can have a significant impact on the level of disciplinary action, before going through military dual phone disciplinary action procedures, please consult with an expert to determine the direction of statements.

Military specialist attorneys will help you with the future procedures by specifically reviewing your situation to give you practical direction.
