(2) Cadets, aviation cadets, and midshipman.
(3) Members of a reserve component while on inactive-duty training, but in the case of members of the Army National Guard of the United States or the Air National Guard of the United States only when in Federal Service.
(4) Retired members of a regular component of the armed forces who are entitled to pay.
Very interesting that #4. I did a quick search of the UCMJ, couldn't find anything on adultery, but conduct unbecoming would apply. Regardless, I don't think he will face a Courts Martial. Possibly loss of a star, but with his background, I don't think the gov't wants to take that route. I wonder if the POTUS, as Commander in Chief, would be subject to the UCMJ?
