Nice work, partner! In a cloudy Jackson-Vegas at Starbucks. Beautiful ride down yesterday. Met with potential client last night. He got a recommendation for dismissal of his charges from the MJ IO on Fri and so is cautiously optimistic. Prep with admin board client today. Board tomorrow, then ride up to Cherry Point to finish prep for Pickett BOI. Have a great day and remember your Mom! Wish her happy Mothers Day for me! Neal A. Puckett, Esq. LtCol, USMC (Ret) Senior Partner Puckett & Faraj, PC 703.706.9566 I familiarized myself with her situation. It's my position that no one can get her the relief she seeks. She's not being processed out, she received orders - meaning she is still being utilized- and she is not being mistreated. No service member has a right to know ahead of time whether they will be allowed to reenlist. Reenlistments get denied for a variety of reasons. There is simply no legal right to continue serving. Even if they ( the Navy) say yes now, the service may change it's mind for a variety of reasons. It's likely that she will be allowed to remain once the Navy figures out how the new law affects her case. In the event, they decide that she must go because she is unfit, they will notify her, at which time she will have the right to challenge that decision. Until then, however, she has no recourse.

Gentlemen -
I haven't contacted this young sailor yet, but I will on monday as I only have her work email and phone. At that time I will let her know that I have sent her docs on to some retired Jags who are friends to take a look at it and would she mind if one of you contacted her. Please let me know who you want to follow up with her if this is the course of action she wants to take. But the way I read this it would seem she might need legal counsel like yourselves. Is that accurate or should she continue the path she is currently trying? I would like to know your opinion before I contact her since these are your kind of waters rather than mine. I think Dave Dickey (ret USMC) had Rob send it over to me because he knows I am involved in different areas and I know some influential folks. If you think it would be better served for her to continue with her congressman, that is fine, however it doesn't seem like our elected representatives get very much done so I don't hold out a lot of hope for that as a venue of success for her. I think lawyers are alot more scary to some folks than congressmen since lawyers actually get things done. (Albeit slowly in chicago due to the judge's leniency.)
Thanks much -

I am currently working in the Pentagon and while en route here from San Diego, I learned that the law changed and it is now against the law to administratively separate a Sailor for a medical condition. The Navy, however, is dragging its feet and has notified me that my family and I are to remain in limbo while they figure out how to handle the situation. I have been in touch with a fit but unfit activist who has forwarded my case to the Senate Arms Sub-committee working the issue, but I haven't heard anything. PERS seems to be stalled and I need to figure out a way to jump-start them into action. The last time we met, you mentioned that you might be able to point me in the right direction once I was in DC. If that offer still stands, I would appreciate any advice you might have. I have attached the letter I sent my congressman and some supporting documents. I look forward to Very Respectfully, MC2 Sandra DeMunnik Defense Imagery Management Operations Center Pentagon Rm. 5E338 Washington, D.C. 20330-5000 Comm: (703) 693-7596 DSN: 223-5699 Fax: (703) 693-4776 NIPR: <mailto:sandra.demunnik@dma.mil> sandra.demunnik@dma.mil ------ End of Forwarded Message
