Back story
My subordinate soldier is facing punishment (Article 15) for improper relations with another leader. Max punishments for offense is reduction in rank, 45 days extra duty, and forfeiture of half months pay for 2 months. I need help drafting a letter to the commander to consider lesser punishment for my soldier. Reasons for lesser punishment include:
Soldier completes all tasks given
works well with others
Always willing to learn
Chain of command noticed hard work
Personal problems never affected work
No negative counselings prior to situation
Trustworthy with tasks
Currently paying mortgage and car note
Plans to enroll in school to continue education
