| Glenn, This is what we do and would be delighted to assist the young officer. Please ask him to call me tomorrow (Sat) to discuss. I can offer him a free consultation. Please give him the number below. I'm at Ext. 1. Congratulations on your assumption of command! Somebody, for once, picked the right dude for the job. Hope you and Kim are set to have fun in the sun there in Tucson. I attended the Counterintelligence Officer's Course at Ft. Huachuca in 1980 and there fell in love with the high desert climate. Good luck in command. Please consider me available to consult anytime, anywhere, for anyone in your command, (including the boss). Confidentiality is one of my strong suits. Never hurts to get a second opinion without anyone knowing you got one. Here's to your health and happiness! Marcy sends her best, as well. Your friend, Neal Neal A.

We hope all is well with you and Marcy. I do reach out asking if you’d consider looking at a USMC officer administrative discharge package. This involves a 2nd Lt Brinkley R. Hypes who has been recommend by the CO of The Basic School for admin discharge with a General Under Honorable service characterization. Principal factor was an admitted unexcused absence from TBS barracks. I don’t argue the Corps’ decision to discharge, but I do question the service characterization. In full disclosure, I commissioned Brink and he has dated our youngest daughter for some time. If you are interested, I’ll have Brink contact you. If not, no problem. Best wishes, Glenn |
