Conduct Unbecoming
"Conduct unbecoming" is a punishment that is only for Commissioned OFFICERS - not for enlisted soldiers.
Article 84 is regarding unlawful enlistment... and therefore not applicable to this situation.
Article 15 is the article that allows for non-judicial punishment - it is NOT something you can be charged with.
Article 91: Insubordinate conduct toward a non-commissioned officer (you failed to obey the order).
Article 92: Failure to Obey a Lawful Order (he ordered you to tell the truth, and you didn't).
Article 107: False Official Statements (told a lie when asked).
Article 134: Disloyal Statements (prejudicial to the good order and discipline)
Article 134: False Swearing (you took an oath and then lied)
Article 134: Obstructing Justice (you lied to hide wrongdoing)

The max punishments you can be hit with are as follows (in the same order!!)
Article 91: BCD, 1 year confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances (willfully disobeying an NCO's order), BCD, 6 month confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances (for showing contempt to the NCO)
Article 92: Dishonorable discharge, 2 years confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances (if the situation involved a general order). BCD 6 month confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances (for the failure to tell the NCO the truth).
Article 107: 5 years confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances.
Article 134 (statements): 3 years confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances.
Article 134 (swearing): Dishonorable Discharge, 3 year confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances.
Article 134 (obstructing): Dishonorable Discharge, 5 year confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances.
And it depends entirely upon what it was that you are being accused of lying about and the Commander. If it was important, or really impacted Good Order and Discipline, you'll be charged with the maximum number of charges. If it is bad enough situation to warrant an Article 15 you are going to get

    Examples Of Violation Of Ucmj

    ____________________. Your actions are in violation of Article 86 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ),10 U.S.C. 886. Continued misbehavior of this type may result in judicial punishment or non-judicial punishment under Article 15 of the UCMJ adverse administrative personnel actions. Potential adverse actions may include: written or oral reprimands, a bar to reenlistment, extra training, suspension or revocation of your security clearance, and involuntary separation under AR 635-200, Chapter 13, Unsatisfactory Performance or Chapter 14, Misconduct. The impact of adverse separation can be severe depending upon the type of discharge you receive. A dishonorable discharge deprives a soldier of all veteran's benefits and may deprive him or her of their civil rights. If separated for your duty performance, the least favorable character of discharge you could receive is an under other than honorable conditions discharge. Both may cause undue hardships in civilian life and may reflect on your eligibility for veteran's benefits, eligibility for reentry into the Armed Forces, and acceptability for employment in the civilian community.…

    Disrespect to a Nco

    The definition of disrespect is lack of respect, discourtesy, or rudeness. In the United States Military, there are rules and regulations you must follow, one of them being respect to a non-commissioned officer. No matter the circumstance, whether you agree or not, you are not allowed to talk back, physically fight back, or question judgment. If this does happen, there are consequences and repercussions from the actions taken on your part. Uniformed Code of Military Justice states that you can ultimately be separated, honorably or dishonorably for actions taken on your part. You can also receive an article fifteen, which takes your hard earned money away from you and your family. It also will take any free time you may have, and can also limit your travel by telling you where you are allowed to go. The importance of maintaining correct protocol and Military bearing on and off duty is essential, because to show disrespect to an NCO when in uniform could cause disrespect among civilians about the military in general. Any disrespect towards my leaders, from team leader on up to Sergeant Major of the Army, along with the Platoon Leader on up to the Army Chief of Staff, or the President of the United States, can have a negative effect on the Morale and Welfare of those around me, junior or senior. When a NCO is disrespected in front of other soldiers, junior or senior, if caused a ripple effect in the chain of command. The subordenent soldiers see the disrespectful behavior and begin to think it is okay, even though, it is very wrong. Now that the behavior has been passed on, the leaders will have a harder time dealing with their soldiers. This should include leaving non work-related issues at home, and away from the workplace. They can get in the way of performing our duties as soldiers, especially when the disagreement is with another soldier, or an…
