How does the Army feel about 20 year old Specialists knocking up a 16 year old High School girl?
I walked in on the wife watching "16 and Skanky" on MTV. I guess this years group of Winners has a 20 year old Specialist (E-4) who knocked up his 16 year old Girl Friend who is still in High School. When I was still in the Marine Corps they would have definitely looked down on something like this. Does the Army have different standards, or is there a waiver for something like this?

Depends on what the age of consent in the state. If he broke the law, the army has no tolerance for that type of shenanigans.
same standards what the E- 4 can get charged with rape. a very stupid thing to do. Not only does he face a military trail but a civilian trail as well.
There criteria for underage sex as it says in the Manual for Courts-Martial that all the branches uses, "is under the age of 16". So it is not a violation of the UCMJ. Now depending on what state this occurred, it could be statutory rape. Every state has its own rules.
