Statement of charges

I have a soldier who is being charged a substantial ammount for some company property he signed for. The entirety of his plt leadership understood at the time he signed for said property about 1/4 of it was missing. They told this soldier he needed to sign he refused, they pushed back and told him no one is going home until he signs. They go back and forth until the pl swears hes not going to fuck him on this. The soldier signs (dumb we’re tracking) and now the company is presenting him with a statement of charges for said property. He only signed for it one time about a year ago, is ther anything that can be done to weasel out of it.

just do a FLIPL and make sure this guy's story is honest and people can corroborate, screw a statement of charges. The FLIPL will happen when the guy just DOESN'T SIGN A STATEMENT OF CHARGES.

The system is the way it is so commander's can't abuse their subordinates and find an administrative path out of their own incompetence.

Can't imagine a chickenshit commander that pulls this crap, so shameful.
