Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman

From Freepedia

Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman is an offense subject to court martial defined in the punitive code of the United States Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

The elements are

1) That the accused did or omitted to do certain acts; and
2) That, under the circumstances, these acts or omissions constituted conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman.

Here “gentleman” is understood to include commissioned officers, cadets, and midshipmen, of both sexes. A gentleman is understood to have a duty to avoid dishonest acts, displays of indecency, lawlessness, dealing unfairly, indecorum, injustice, or acts of cruelty.
