We help people with different situations where their rights are not being protected, and a lot of times those rights are even spelled out in a regulation. But commanders don't always read those regulations. A recent case involved an Army reservist that moved to a different state and found his new home was too far away from any unit. Army regulations say he is supposed to be protected from excessive commuting, but the people in his chain of command told him, “Oh you just have to travel anyway.” (They've probably never read the rules that say he doesn't have to.) So he contacted us, and I helped him write letters to his current commander. She got really upset with him for asking that his rights be honored. I also helped him get connected with a Congressional staffer to help advocate for him.
