    I'm not sure what else you can do except keep your witnesses around in case you need them. If you get counseled about no show/no call, I'd refuse to sign anything that would indicate that you agree...

    I'm humbled to admit that I, while hardly naïve to the dangers of the internet, was once guilty of this myself. As an officer and a soldier, I am well aware of the importance of privacy and...
