TRAINING WORKSHOP ON GI RIGHTS REGARDING DISCHARGE FROM MILITARY
Oklahoma City, April 20-22
On the weekend of April 20-22, the Oklahoma Committee for Conscientious Objectors is holding a training workshop for potential hotline volunteers and others who want to support the troops in a real, concrete way (full details in the press release below).
As you know, the rates of active duty military personnel seeking discharge is rising every day. You may not know that Ft. Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma, is one of two main processing centers for discharges. So our area gets more than our share of active duty military seeking information and support. Our hotline was established to serve this urgent need.
Don't be shocked, but the military does not provide complete or accurate information to its troops as to under what circumstances discharge can be sought -- and obtained. That's where we -- and you -- come in!
Please consider taking this training and becoming familiar with issues of military law pertaining to types of discharges, the process of filing, courts martial, etc. The training will be conducted by very experienced lawyers from the National Lawyers Guild Military Law Task Force and will give a good overview of the regulations and requirements involved.
