How could the process affect my military career?

Yesterday, May 20, 2021, we began the Article 32 hearing for Sergeant First Class (SFC) Rob Nicoson at Fort Bragg, NC. The Army prosecutors did not call one witness to testify. Instead, the prosecutors are relying on the very thin Army CID investigation and the very low burden to send the allegations to a General Court-martial. Importantly, just prior to the hearing, we were given access to two classified investigations the prosecutors believed they had sent to us. They di...d not. Those investigations were conducted into the allegations against SFC Nicoson well before CID got involved. Those investigations also contained very favorable evidence for SFC Nicoson. We entered both of those investigations into evidence and are asking that the investigations be declassified. While I can’t go into the facts contained within those investigations yet, I think it’s fair to say that SFC Nicoson was not even in the country at the time two of the charges are alleged to have occurred, there is evidence in the investigation that shows SFC Nicoson did not violate the law or intend to commit any wrong, and that SFC Nicoson’s actions were Valorous during the firefight that occurred on August 17, 2020 PicCred - Terminalcwo

"It’s repugnant that that Army continues to denigrate Matt’s heroism on the battlefield," Stackhouse said in a statement obtained by The Hill. "The false allegations are alleged to have happened well after the Valorous actions on the battle field and the Army should be ashamed to keep the false narrative alive at this point. It’s an embarrassment and disloyal." #whohasyourback

Of course they did. Betraying a warrior is easy when the leaders of the institution lack loyalty to the warfighter.

To put to rest the speculation and answer the inquiries coming into our office, our client Chief Special Warfare Operator Tony DeDolph, USN, has entered into an agreement with Rear Admiral Charles Rock, USN, to resolve his pending charges. This agreement will end the contested charges, allowing SOC DeDolph to accept responsibility for those offenses he can and mitigate most of the concerns over classified material present in the case. We believe what is intended by a person’...s actions is eminently important and the agreement recognizes that SOC DeDolph never intended to injure SSG Logan Melgar, USA, but also recognizes the fact that SSG Melgar died as a result of actions that went tragically wrong on June 4, 2017. The fact that SSG Melgar’s death was not intentional may not lessen the righteous feelings of grief by family and friends, but perhaps the resolution of this case will further help them find closure and peace.

See what General Brown is thinking about and hit share (below) and let's spread it around.... The U.S. Senate confirmed Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., June 9, to be the 22nd Air Force chief of staff, clearing the way for the decorated pilot and experienced commander to become the first African American in history to lead a branch of the U.S. military as its highest-ranking officer.

Someone facing military discipline needs to know what type of proceeding they are involved in.

Major Capers is an amazing man. To be in his presence is an experience itself. Quiet, humble, but still today the eye of a warrior and heart of a Raider. None more loyal to what’s morally right. Read about him. There still time for our country to do what is right for him while he walks among us.

This week we got an administrative board dismissed for our Air Force Client at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington. Traveling during a pandemic, traveling overseas, trraveling into a combat zone for our clients is part of the service we give. Capt Dave Bosner was an awesome ADC to collaberate with during the case.

A new Convening Authority with ability to dismiss the charges against our Raider client Danny Draher. Here’s to replacing Yoo and doing the right thing for these operators.

Heed it - but if you’re not going to, keep our number. Camp Pendleton Issues Shelter In Place Guidelines - 1:45 p.m., Sunday, April 5, 2020 Marines at Camp Pendleton have been ordered to follow California's "shelter in place" guidelines and face severe penalties if they don't, according to the military base's commanding general.... Brigadier General Daniel Conley on Saturday issued the instructions to Marine Corps Installations West, which includes Camp Pendleton. "As of March 19, the state of California instituted a `shelter in place' order," Conley wrote. "The order directs all individuals to remain at home or place of residence, except as needed in limited circumstances." The commander's order said all personnel will curtail their off-duty activities to abide by the California orders. "Travel while on leave or liberty is only authorized to conduct essential services such as medical needs, groceries, banking, exercise and gas stations," the order said. "While in a leave or liberty status, and while traveling to conduct essential services, all MCIWEST personnel shall limit travel to within a 30-mile radius of their residence." Marines are ordered to have a "heightened awareness regarding the spread of this infectious disease." "Marines and sailors are not authorized to attend social gatherings outside their home, and social contact at private residences will be limited to household members only," the order states. Violations of the order are punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the commander said, and personnel may be subject to "appropriate administrative or judicial action." Conley is the commanding general of Marine Corps Installations West and the Marine Corps base at Camp Pendleton. While more than 38,000 military family members occupy base housing complexes, Camp Pendleton expands to a daytime population of 70,000 military and civilian personnel.

Those who serve their country are often held to a higher standard.
