LtCol Bracknell, Gentlemen, The only issue I have with starting the 32 at 1300 is that my wife is on bed-rest (she's due in 4 weeks). So, I may have to depart "early" IOT help her with our 18-month-old daughter. We may still have the assistance of my in-laws on the 6th, and if so, this would not be an issue. If they are not able to stay past this Saturday (which right now is unknown), then I may have to deal with daycare/getting my daughter in bed, etc. b/c my wife is of course unable to do any of that. Thanks for your understanding and hopefully my wife's parents will still be here. Sir, BTW, as an Englishman myself (by birth and family line) I of course am also a fan of the Royal Navy. But does it get much cooler than the USS Firebolt? v/r Maj McConnell -----Original Message----- From: Robert Bracknell [mailto:rbracknell@acus.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 12:32 To: Haytham Faraj; Hoover Capt Christopher M Cc: Mcconnell Maj Matthew N Subject: RE: Re: US v. Rowe - Art 32 Witness Request OK, 1300 it is. I will go as late as required to finish. If I were a ship, I'd be the HMS Indefatigable. Of course, I'd be in the Royal Navy, because only the Brits christen their vessels with such cool names.

I left the morning of the 7th open but I have to be out of Quantico by 1000. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Bracknell [mailto:rbracknell@acus.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 12:22 PM To: Hoover Capt Christopher M Cc: haytham@puckettfaraj.com; Mcconnell Maj Matthew N Subject: RE: Re: US v. Rowe - Art 32 Witness Request Importance: High Men: As it stands, I see we are going to hear from about 3 or 4 witnesses -- Lt Klay, Cpl Quinn, NCIS SA Buckmon, and possibly Captain Klay -- so a decent ballpark estimate on the length of the hearing is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-8 hours. I need to know whether starting the hearing at 1300 vice a morning start time is going to pose an insurmountable problem for any of you. I have a family obligation (appointment at my daughter's school) first thing Monday morning. Starting at 1300 would enable me to keep the appointment, which has been very difficult to schedule with this particular teacher -- so I'm somewhat reluctant to tell her I can't meet Monday morning. I will if I must, but I'd prefer to work around it. To be frank, I am more concerned with Mr. Faraj's schedule than the two uniformed attorneys or the witnesses. Uniformed Marines (and NCIS agents) get paid to be flexible about nonstandard duty hours. Mr. Faraj, if the hearing lasted from 1300 until 2100, would that adversely affect your calendar for Tuesday 7 June? s/f, LtCol Bracknell Butch Bracknell Lieutenant Colonel of US Marines CMC Fellow, The Atlantic Council o 202-778-4979 c 757-287-4704 ________________________________________ From: Robert Bracknell Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 11:18 AM To: Hoover Capt Christopher M Cc: haytham@puckettfaraj.com; Mcconnell Maj Matthew N Subject: RE: Re: US v. Rowe - Art 32 Witness Request My email of May 23 asked you where the witnesses are located. Your reply email of May 24 did not answer this question. It's difficult for me to make a determination since I don't know for certain where the witnesses are. I *assume* Quinn is still at MBW, and that the NCIS agent is still local as well. Where is Captain Klay (spouse) assigned?, and what are his duties? *IF* Quinn and SA Buckmon are local (within 50 miles of Quantico), please produce them. I will decide on Captain Klay today when I learn where he is assigned. If he is no longer local, I may still want to hear from him by phone.
