Lieutenant Colonel promotable was given a GOMOR for alleged BAH fraud and the GOMOR was permanently filed in officer’s OMPF. This resulted in being taken off the O-6 promotion list and an HRC Board of Inquiry (BOI) followed.
Mr. Bilecki was retained to represent this officer at the BOI at Camp Zama, Japan. At the BOI, Bilecki challenged the finance office’s account of what our client had received and what she was entitled to receive. He exposed the errors in the government’s case and proved that she had been underpaid, not overpaid. The evidence the Army was using to call this fraud led to the opposite conclusion.
After deliberations of less than one hour, the BOI members unanimously found that our client committed no misconduct. The GOMOR should not have been placed in her file to begin with. She was subsequently retained in the Army.
Prior results do not predict future outcomes.
