I have a question. I know it affects your pay, so is there any other purpose to that? I guess it's an additional punishment. It also has the effect of adding a category to the list of potential punishments by saying in addition to receiving the reprimand, or whatever it is, or detention, you will also lose at least one rank, and maybe more. Is there a purpose to that other than to take away pay, or does it have something to do with the chain of command? Can you explain that a little bit more?
