Opinion of the Court
Allen, in writing, chose to be tried by military judge alone. The signed, printed form indicates, however, that he made such a request with apparent knowledge only of his right to be tried by a court-martial composed of commissioned officers. Advice that he had a right to have the court-martial panel composed of one-third enlisted men was omitted. This same omission was considered in United States v Turner, 20 USCMA 167, 43 CMR 7 (1970). The issue was decided against that appellant. For the reasons stated in that opinion, we affirm the decision of the United States Navy Court of Military Review.
