LOR Rebuttal
Dereliction of Duty

02 Oct 2011

MEMORANDUM FOR: Msgt. Rooftop, Guy D

FROM: SRA Snuffy, Dog G

SUBJECT: Response to Letter of Reprimand, dated 02 Oct 2011

1. This statement concerns the letter of reprimand I received on 02 Oct 2011 for failing to be mobile in my assigned sector, Air Force Security Forces General Order number one, and Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice: Dereliction in the performance of duties.

2. I would first like to acknowledge that as a Patrol Leader in Security Forces (SF), I am responsible for my patrol. As a veteran Senior Airmen, this is solely my fault. I have failed my wingmen, my flight members and my Flight Chief. I have not been the best Airman I know I can be today and in doing so have hindered the security of the base along with the assets. I sincerely apologize for my actions. I have not only let down the Air Force, but SF members around the world. This is by far the worst mistake I have made in my career. It reflects poorly on me and my flight. I feel horrible and want to push and dig deeper than ever to recover out of the proverbial hole I have dug for myself.

3. I have been in the military for almost six years now, and it has had such a positive influence on my life that I cannot imagine what or whom I would be if it wasn't for the Air Force or SF and the personnel around me. I have had nothing but positive re-enforcement and experiences throughout my time in service. I wish to carry myself to my final date on good terms.

4. In conclusion, I want to state that I have let everyone down. I express my sincerest apologizes to everyone in my unit and my flight especially. I have already taken corrective actions upon myself to improve security. This neglectful behavior is totally unacceptable. I will continue to strive for excellence and prove my worth on this flight. Thank you sir, for taking the time out of your busy shift to read over and consider my statements.

Leader, Security Forces
