Letter of Counseling Rebuttal

MEMO FOR 1922nd CS/CCF

SUBJECT: Letter of Counseling Response, SSgt Moebius Traum

To whom it may concern,

My name is SSgt Moebius Traum. I work in the SCMM section and would like to address an LOC I recently received. I appreciate the opportunity to present my side of the story and would like to express my thanks for the consideration shown me by my supervisor and the squadron.

On 22 July 08, when I reported to work as scheduled, MSgt Lewis called me into his office and presented me with a Letter of Counseling for Failure to Go. He believed that I was scheduled to work on 21 July 08 and that I did not show up for work. On the schedule I had, dated 18 July 08, I was not scheduled to work that day. The schedule was changed while I was on leave and no one gave me a copy or notified me that the schedule had changed and that I was scheduled to work. For that reason, I don't believe I should receive a Letter of Counseling.

I have been an Air Force member for over 4 years and have always worked hard to comply with all regulations and support my squadron. I have a good record and this is the first disciplinary action I have ever received. I request that the decision to present this LOC be reconsidered based on the fact that I did not willfully violate any order or instruction. Further, I request an audience with the First Sergeant to determine if this situation warrants attention by the Inspector General's office.

Sincerely,

SSgt Moebius Traum, USAF
