I finally read it. These reports are always written this way. It's a solid win.

But, I guess that really wasn't his (the IO's) job, in this matter.  His job was to advise the CG, as to whether 'probable cause' exists and to make recommendations concerning the sagacity of trying this case at GCM, correct?  Certainly, he strongly discourages the latter; but, the report ~could~ be interpreted in such a way, as to conclude the IO believes I did, in fact, commit a LOAC Violation - and, the Govt is just too screwed-up to prove it.  This frustrates me; quite a bit...

Also in June, I envision trading some eMail traffic with the LtCol's monitor, while I 'scrape & claw' for the best of the worst jobs he never got around to filling from this year's summer rotation.
