It is non-judicial punishment imposed by your company commander, who is usually a Captain, or 1LT. It could mean lost of one grade in rank, lost of pay for a certain amount of time, or just about anything resonable to the CO. It is non judicial, because you do NOT appear before a tribunal. It is handled in house by the CO.
