I will get up with Capt Kelley.

I will not be taking additional action, all known charges should have been adjudicated at the same time. Baker is adjudicated and his career is over. Why were these Marines not afforded an opportunity to talk to the IG? Baker was relieved a long time ago, before the IG investigation even started. Have you given these statements to Col. Green? This will have bearing on potential testimony Baker may give during the adjudication of others from PMO. I want you to coordinate through Capt. Kelley to have these statements forwarded to SJA.

There are allegations of hazing, choke slamming Cpl Vela, mistreatment, and giving a PMO "gorilla cage" to a Lincoln Housing employee. I know he has already been adjudicated, but the Marines wanted a chance to put in their statements. Very Respectfully, Capt Knobel
