Moderator needs a bit of help
 

If anyone has any experience with or substantive knowledge of the Army's GOMOR, please send me a PM as soon as possible.

I run a free legal clinic outside JBLM that sees, obviously, veterans and active duty members. A fella came in last night with a GOMOR that he received just as he was leaving for the appointment with me.

As I understand it, the time to reply is 7 duty days. I need help with making sure his response is complete, accurate, on point, and directly addresses the vague and inherently unfair allegations and punishment.

Thanks.

hello, first off he has the right to have legal assistance (not trial defense services) on post help him with the rebuttal as well. he can also have commanders (or whatever people he can get ((the higher the rank, the better))) to write letters of character reference, or regarding the situation in particular if they have knowledge of it in his defense. the link sent by UASIT is a pretty on point. a major part of the process is the "filing," meaning where it's put in his records after it's finished (in the event that they don't rip it up after his rebuttal). even if he receives it, he can still request after the fact that it be removed from permanent record or where ever and put into his "local file" meaning when he leaves that duty station, it's just a bad memory that will never rear it's head again.
