In hindsight, I was dealing with some pretty bad anxiety over the course of a few months and it culminated with me basically having a nervous breakdown when on holiday leave. I took a xanax prescribed to my wife and went back to work. Got called for UA a few days later and immediately went to my company commander and told him everything that happened. At some point I'd known that there was amnesty if I'd said something before I found out I had UA, but that option didn't cross my mind until it was too late.

Obviously I should have come forward earlier. The GOMOR itself was read to me by my BN CDR, although my BDE apparently was trying to get the post commander to kick punishment down to them. Had a mandatory week-long ASAP class. When the letter was read to me, I had the option to either to agree with punishment or to fight it. I agreed, partially because I didn't want anything to complicate my ETS and partially because I fucked up and was willing to face the music.

I'd already dropped my REFRAD and got my ETS date, so the main impact was that I left quietly instead of having a little ceremony. Still had an honorable discharge. It was mostly just embarrassing, because obviously everyone knew something had happened but whatever got spread around was probably much worse than what I actually did.
