Answer 1

The NAVPERS 1070/887 must be submitted to a Service member's official military personnel file within 60 business days following the conclusion of a court-martial, NJP, or NJP appeal process for sex-related offenses under the UCMJ. So, the correct answer is option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the adjudication of a court-martial or Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP), or at the completion of the NJP appeal process, for any sex-related offenses including violation of Articles 120, 120a, 120b, 120c, or 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), or an attempt to commit any of these offenses punishable under Article 80, the timeframe for submitting a NAVPERS 1070/887 to a Service member’s official military personnel file is 60 business days.

This timeframe allows for the administrative processing of the legal documentation to be completed and correctly filed in the Service member’s record, ensuring accurate historical documentation of the judicial actions taken in response to the offenses.

So, the correct answer is option c.
