The Oath of Enlistment (for enlisted):
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
The UCMJ is made up of 146 articles that cover a wide range of
offenses and punishments. Some of the more common offenses covered by the UCMJ include adultery, assault, disobeying orders, and desertion. A number of articles also deal with specific offenses such as espionage and treason. Each violation has a corresponding punishment, ranging from a minor reprimand to more serious consequences. UCMJ is posted at every military base and is read and explained during boot camp orientation! I remember thinking auh Sh#t what did I get myself into.

The 10 commandments don't even come close.

LOL, hubby said something very similar about UCMJ when he finished at Paris Island !
