MEMORANDUM FOR Commander, HHC, 199th Support Battalion, 5500
Coliseum Blvd, Alexandria, LA 71303-3707
SUBJECT: Request for Redress (LCMJ Article 138)
On 7 July, 1992 you announced that all members of the unit were encouraged, but not required to join in a work project on the following day, 8 July, 1992, which a domestic action activity was involving cleaning public areas in Leesville, LA. As I had previously made plans for that day, I elected not to participate. Thereafter, you turned down my request for special leave to participate in my cousin's wedding scheduled for 14 July, 1992.
I think your refusal to approve my leave is unreasonable and is in retaliation for my absence from the voluntary domestic action program described above. I consider this a wrong within the meaning of Article 138, LCMJ and LAARNG Reg 27-10, Chapter 11.
As redress, I request approval of my leave request.
