1 We note two errors in the promulgating order with respect to the language of Speci-
fication 1 of the Charge. First, the order incorrectly reads “. . . with your finger and
his mouth,” whereas the specification alleges “. . . with his finger and his mouth.”
Second, the order incorrectly indicates Appellant pleaded guilty to the entire specifi-
cation, and the military judge found Appellant guilty of the specification except the
words “and mouth,” of which the military judge found Appellant not guilty. In fact,
Appellant pleaded guilty to the specification but excepted the words “and mouth,” to
which he pleaded not guilty. After pleas but before the military judge entered find-
ings, the Government withdrew and dismissed the words “and mouth,” and the mili-
tary judge subsequently found Appellant guilty of the remaining language without
exceptions. We find no prejudice, but to ensure the accuracy of court-martial records,
we direct the publication of a corrected court-martial order.
