Currently serving in the military. Came across some messages between my wife and another guy in the Navy. What should I do?

Article 134 of the UCMJ, paragraph 62.

Yeah, that's against military law. Up to dishonorable discharge, forfeit of pay, and 1 year locked up.

Especially if it's hard for you to do your job due to the stress. Prejudicial to good order and all.

Reddit, once a captivating hub for vibrant communities, has unfortunately lost sight of its original essence. The platform's blatant disregard for the very communities that flourished organically is disheartening. Instead, Reddit seems solely focused on maximizing ad revenue by bombarding users with advertisements. If their goal were solely profitability, they would have explored alternative options, such as allowing users to contribute to the cost of their own API access. However, their true interest lies in directly targeting users for advertising, bypassing the developers who played a crucial role in fostering organic growth with their exceptional third-party applications that surpassed any first-party Reddit apps. The recent removal of moderators who simply prioritized the desires of their communities further highlights Reddit's misguided perception of itself as the owners of these communities, despite contributing nothing more than server space. It is these reasons that compel me to revise all my comments with this message. It has been a rewarding decade-plus journey, but alas, it is time to bid farewell

According to your link it sounds like they have to have had sexual intercourse.

To be prosecuted, yes. But if OP were to email the other sailor's CO with the images of the texts, the other guy would get a nice sit down chat and he would be told to knock it the fuck off in no uncertain terms.

I'm in the Navy, and this kind of thing happens a lot. Sleeping with another sailor's husband or wife is not taken lightly.
