Thanks again for the solid advice, superb counsel, and hard work shown by all. BL, I placed myself in a position in which we find ourselves today. I appreciate your dedication in defending me and will continue to follow your advice. Haytham: I reviewed both documents as well as your cover letter. GTG on all accounts.

I'm aware of an officer being acquitted of 120 charges at a GCM, ie found not guilty; then sent to a BOI anyways. Haytham's services would be helpful in keeping you retained as a Major until retirement. Christian P.

Trust me when I tell you they are never interested in justice. They're only interested in looking good. They play dirty and don't give a crap about the truth. That said, they've never beaten me. I have beat them every time with truth and honesty before neutral panels. We would be going court martial if you were enlisted. As an officer, you are still going to a BOI even if you win. There's also a remote possibility that they could obtain a conviction on at least one of the conduct unbecoming which is subjective and prone to abuse and misunderstanding even by neutral members because officers have and bring their personal views on what is and is not appropriate. A conviction would not result in a dismissal but it will be on your record. This deal avoids all that. Haytham Faraj, Esq.

Your previous insight and their actions validate my perception. On one hand accepting NJP gives a perception of pleading guilty which while at the same time is a strategic move to ensure proper defense during the proposed potential BOI proceedings. I also understand the need to accept responsibility while also allowing me to argue the case before the General. I want to ensure that should I choose to move forward (just in case) that this PTA can be voided by me. Again, while I truly understand this may be the best case scenario forward, I'm still adamant about also wanting to fight to clear my name. There are risks involved in both and I understand the greater risk is being found guilty at a GCM. BL, I do not want to look back with second thoughts and hindsight of I should have chosen the other route if I find myself separated. Thanks again for everyone's hard work. Please continue to keep me informed as to the status of the case. Note: multiple scans has degraded the document. Break, break, Capt Grey: I have been unable to view or access the Shared documents.

This does not have the no show cause language . The prosecutor has agreed to submit both versions to the General. The SJA will only recommend this one. I intend to put a cover letter on it addressed to the CG. I called the CG's office yesterday to speak to him but he was unavailable. I will try again today. Please sign and return this to me.
