Removed (Chapter 2, Subsection 2):

Subsection 2. Demerit Review Request (DRR) Form

Important Notes:

• Contact the JAG or JA with any questions.
• Do not file an appeal for another person, unless previously discussed and agreed upon with the JAG or JA.
• You may submit a request 30 days after receiving a demerit.
• Personnel with demerits cited for Missing SoW and MPTS Posting Error may not fill out the request.
• You may only fill out two requests for the same demerit. If your first review has been upheld, another one may be sent two weeks later.
• While this may be perceived similar to the Punishment Appeal Form (PAF), they are totally different. Requests filed for the PAF may only uphold/increase/reduce a punishment. On the other hand, if deemed fit, demerits may be removed from your record once the OJAG has conducted a thorough review for a filed Demerit Review Request.
