I hope this issue is resolved, and please don’t stop fighting and allow these people to ruin your career.

To answer your q’s real quick before i hit the sack, here goes.

Cj was responsible for the motion..she lied when she said that she didn’t know who it was from. To follow policy, he gave her a copy of it days in advance for no surprises.

Yes, she knew who we were, i can’t say that’s WHY she did it, just that i think that’s why she did.

Yes, at this point they had already contacted the army saying that he was threatening them because he suffered from ptsd(pta pres and principal). When his commander responded that it’s not his matter, that’s when they took it to garrison who so obviously didn’t.

The pta president and the principal asked the secuirity to be there-just for cj. we have a woman on the board who came forward a few weeks later who told us all that they had done to try and get cj into trouble. Notice how they weren’t in any other parents’ faces who were much louder than cj.

Yes, it did say uniforms weren’t mandatory until next school year. we already knew that the day after the first uniform meeting that got so far out of hand. The point wasn’t to debate uniforms, it was to get parental involvment on the decision making process-which they skipped over when they read the motion.

To be honest, i don’t really want the fight. I would like right just to make itself right. We are both stressed to the max and would like nothing more for this to go away. That can’t happen until they stop caling garrison and garrison stops letting them dictate what they should do. The pTA president was even the one who told them she wanted UCMJ action on Cj.

As for the meeting – the US and THEM atmosphere was fixed when the non-PTA members were segregated. No wonder they didn’t want press there. That was just wrong on so many levels.

Watched the videos and wasn’t clear – who was responsible for the motion? Why would an anonymous motion even be entertained? The way she handled it even before CJ spoke up was a big red flag, surely CJ wasn’t the only one to catch that. During the roll call were you waved over because she already knew you? Did I hear a comment that CJ’s commander had already been contacted? Police at a PTA meeting – did I get that right? If so who called them and why?

All the meeting stuff aside, for these civilians to take it upon themselves to sabotage your career is absolutely REPREHENSIBLE. I’d like to think the Colonel will stand behind you but not holding my breath on that one.

Above all, if you bring the press into this be prepared. The army won’t like it, that’s for darn sure, and you have to be SO careful what you say to the reporter. (Learned that the hard way too) Even then, both video and letters can, and probably will, be edited, even letters to the editor of your paper.

I think the best thing CJ has going for him is the video which shows he wasn’t acting aggressive. His voice was loud, and he was assertive. The women got their backs up and it escalated. CJ left.

Perhaps the PTA wasn’t the proper forum but if thats the case the motion shouldn’t have even been mentioned. In the end this seemed to be less about the uniforms and more about procedure.

Lastly, I think I heard it said the uniforms weren’t mandatory until next school year.

The jackass’s letter was forwarded to Base Legal. I got called in and the JAG showed it to me.

JAG then showed me the letter he drafted in response to the jackass telling him to stuff it. That just because I was serving in the US Navy didn’t mean that I’d given up my Constitutional right to Due Process and to not write to my CO again.

Meanwhile, keeping you all in my prayers as you prove to bullies that bullying will NOT work..

I respectfully request that you maintain your position and stand for what you know is right.

Don’t tread on me.
