Read a random definition: bargain theory of consideration

A quick definition of supervisory authority:

Supervisory Authority: In military law, a supervisory authority is an officer who has the power to review trial records of summary and special court-martial cases after the convening authority has reviewed them. This officer has the authority to exercise general court-martial jurisdiction.

Simply put, a supervisory authority is a person in the military who has the power to review and oversee court-martial cases. They make sure that the trial records are reviewed properly and that the correct procedures are followed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In military law, a supervisory authority is an officer who has the power to review trial records of summary and special court-martial cases after the convening authority has reviewed them. This officer exercises general court-martial jurisdiction.

Example: Let's say a soldier is accused of violating military law and is tried in a special court-martial. The convening authority, who is usually the commanding officer, reviews the trial records and makes a decision. However, if the soldier is not satisfied with the decision, they can request a review by the supervisory authority. This officer will then review the trial records and make a final decision.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a supervisory authority has the power to review trial records and make a final decision in military court cases. This officer acts as a check and balance to ensure that the convening authority's decision is fair and just. The supervisory authority has the power to uphold, modify, or reverse the decision made by the convening authority.

@NemoPropheta: You didn't miss much. If you graduated last year, this has been one of the worst years for employment. 8% unemployment for grads and 40% underemployment. The economy has been on a soft decline for the last like 5 years. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/02/business/jobs-market-college-graduate-economy

Once you think about all of that enough times *slowly* your thought process becomes streamlined—your brain starts taking shortcuts and recognizing patterns

And then you can do it in 35 minutes. Just like when you learned the basics of arithmetic, and it took you like 5 minutes to figure out 4 times 3 because you were drawing 3 groups of 4 and then counting them

It's a process, but just like anything (workouts, math, etc), it's practicable, and with enough *good* reps, you'll get faster and more accurate <3

@NosyBeagle: basically what everyone else said. Once you do it enough times slowly and correctly it'll become automatic and much faster
