Alcon:

My first draft of my statement is attached.  It is merely a rough first cut as I continue to refine my thoughts and how I want to convey them.

Additionally, I'm awaiting feedback from some of the BOI character witnesses.  These are exclusive of previous statements that I want included going forth.

* For the record and not to rock the boat, I do NOT want the GySgt Potter's statement in my package.  Let me repeat this again (considering my first request was overlooked prior to the NJP).  I do NOT want the GySgt Potter's statement in my package.  With that said, if anyone has re-interviewed him, then I will definitely reconsider.

** Other points to consider:  Chris Burgess has since resigned his position and is now living / working in the Southern California area.  Would definitely like to have him present (if possible and to testify).  MSgt Hounshell is also a key witness and both can shed light on command climate / events leading to this situation.  Both were unable to testify during the NJP.   

Thanks again.  I also would like to speak off-line at some point.  I have changed my DTS request to reflect arriving Wednesday night the 19th and remaining until Monday afternoon the 24th.  I can adjust for an earlier departure if required.

Haytham,  the attached pdf is the only request I've sent to date (see pdf).  

We could ask for the witnesses that we were going to for the 32, but at this stage I think it's better if we just ask for good military character witnesses.  See attached word document.

Please edit as needed and/or let me know its good to send out.

Regarding the board members:

Col Kasperski is the MCRD G4.  He has told me after a previous BOI that he puts a lot of stock in officers that man up to their faults and fall on their sword and I've never seen him award an OTH when he's been a member.

LtCol Trapp is in the G3 at MCRD.  He is an 0302 and was a former infantry battalion commander that saw combat in Iraq.  He has a burn scar from an accident as a child, not from combat.  He is firm, but fair.  He was Capt Wacker's mentor/supervisor at MCRD.  He calls things the way they are and is an independent thinker.

LtCol Woods...don't know him.  He is the assistant chief of staff for recruiting.

Chris,
Did you submit that discovery and witness request?  Can we try to get some intel on the officers of the Board?  Please get me their MOSs and any information on their careers including duty assignments and deployments. 

Maj Rowe.  I recommend that you begin to work on your statement.  Contrition for poor judgment works better than defiance.  That said, do not express contrition for something you did not do or are not responsible for.  

s/f
Haytham

Gentlemen, FYI.  See PDF.  I know both LtCol Trapp and Col Kasperski.  Both really good and fair officers.  This is good for your BOI Sir.

Regarding witnesses we want, see below and attached word document.  Whom do we want?  Thanks.

Updated witness list attached.  Of note, I have deleted GySgt Potter from my witness list.  It is my belief that unless properly questioned, he will not provide unbiased insight into the circumstances. 

Additionally, please delete him from my list of character references / letters of recommendation as well.

I just saw this list after I sent my last email.  I presume these are the witnesses you want to call during the NJP?
