During this period, he received a General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand (GOMOR). He viewed a subsequent requirement to undergo a Flying Evaluation Board (FEB) as an act of reprisal. Even though the FEB eventually cleared him of any misconduct, his command still issued a GOMOR, which ultimately led to him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/05\/september-1-date-be-separated-service-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">losing promotion eligibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To his surprise, on September 2, CW3 Budge was notified by the office of Chief of Staff of the Army that the GOMOR on his record was being revoked. Although many would consider it a cause for celebration, CW3 Budge does not share their enthusiasm at this time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgp-post-inline-1\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postinline-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Why? Because CW3 Budge immediately inquired whether he would be restored to the rank of CW4 for which he was selected in February 2022, and his contact at the Army Chief of Staff\u2019s office is hopeful, but recommended he reach out to a legal representative, Ms. Melissa Halsey, at the Pentagon.<\/p>\n<p>Budge contacted Ms. Halsey, who said that although the GOMOR is being rescinded, he would not be reinstated to the rank of CW4. \u201cShe simply seemed to suggest that I would be eligible for promotion in the upcoming cycle,\u201d CW3 Budge shared.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the problem with this determination as he explained to <em>The Gateway Pundit<\/em>: CW3 Budge had been selected for promotion to CW4 in the 2021 promotion board; however, the issuance of a General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand (GOMOR) triggered a Special Selection Review Board (SSRB). The SSRB subsequently revoked a February 1, 2022, promotion. Budge explained that once an officer receives a GOMOR, promotion becomes \u201cvirtually unattainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result, he was not selected during the next promotion board and is now classified as a \u201ctwo-time non-select,\u201d he explained. This designation necessitates his separation from the Army, subsequently forcing him into retirement on October 6, 2025. With approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/08\/clock-ticks-down-army-black-hawk-pilots-two\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20 working days remaining<\/a> to rectify his situation, he fears there is no time to reapply to the Department of the Army Suitability Evaluation Board (DASEB) as the legal representative suggested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI made it very clear that the GOMOR was the sole reason the SSRB was convened and why this board ultimately removed my promotion to CW4, but that doesn\u2019t seem to matter at this point,\u201d CW3 Budge shared. \u201cIf the GOMOR has been removed, the SSRB was unnecessary and my rank should be restored to CW4, plain and simple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, CW3 Budge formally requested a copy of the decision from Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR).<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1448250 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/budge-halsey-email.png?resize=640%2C604&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"604\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span>Image: Email Screenshot by J.M. Phelps (CW3 Budge to Ms. Halsey)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In her reply, she admitted not having a copy of the decision and questioned whether she could legally have access to it. Although Ms. Halsey might not have the authority to directly release the information to CW3 Budge, can she not assist in expediting its release? \u201cWith each delay, I\u2019m reaching a very critical point and my back is against the wall, as no further action may be taken without the ABCMR\u2019s official decision,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout answers to the questions I\u2019m asking, my family remains in limbo, and I can\u2019t move on with my life,\u201d he said. \u201cI need to find out if the Army is really going to take care of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What makes this process most painstaking is that his requests for assistance appear to be slow rolled. In approximately 20 working days, the Black Hawk helicopter pilot will be forced to transition to civilian life, and he is frustrated by the lack of a clear decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this moment, as clarified by [Ms. Halsey] from the Pentagon,\u201d CW3 Budge said, \u201cthe GOMOR will be lifted, but I will not be reinstated to the rank for which I was previously chosen after 18 years of service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe financial impact is significant\u2014approximately $40,000 in lost back pay\u2014and, if I happen to live to the age of 85, more than a half million in lost retirement benefits,\u201d Budge also pointed out. \u201cI still have six children at home, and I\u2019ve earned the rank of CW4.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As CW3 Budge\u2019s legal representative, Attorney R. Davis Younts, a retired Air Force JAG, remains \u201coptimistic about the current administration\u2019s commitment to correcting injustices faced by service members like CW3 Budge during the COVID-19 mandate era.\u201d He told <em>The Gateway Pundit<\/em>, \u201cI am encouraged by the leadership\u2019s willingness to revisit and rectify past wrongs, as evidenced by the decision to revoke the GOMOR, [saying] this is a positive step toward restoring fairness for dedicated soldiers who have served honorably.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, with CW3 Budge\u2019s forced retirement looming on October 6,\u201d Younts agreed, \u201cthe window to fully restore his rank and career is rapidly closing.\u201d He asserted, \u201cThe Army has an opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to justice by acting swiftly to reinstate his rightful promotion to CW4, ensuring his years of service are properly honored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Younts urges the Department of Defense and the Army to expedite the necessary actions to prevent an irreversible outcome for CW3 Budge and his family. \u201cThe leadership\u2019s intent to right these wrongs is clear, but time is of the essence,\u201d Younts emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe revocation of the GOMOR is a promising start, but without immediate action to restore his promotion and prevent his separation,\u201d he said, \u201cthe remedy falls short of true justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI respectfully call on the Army to prioritize this case and provide the clarity and resolution CW3 Budge deserves before he is forced out,\u201d pleaded Younts. \u201cHis exemplary service and the financial stability of his family hang in the balance, and I am confident the current leadership can deliver the swift resolution needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having attended a retirement brief on September 3, the question lingers for CW3 Budge: Will the Defense Department act quickly enough to preserve his career and the rank he is entitled to?<\/p>\n<p>CW3 Budge emphasized that his views do not represent the views of the Department of Defense or Department of the Army.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgp-post-above-comments\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postbelow-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/09\/covid-era-reprimand-removed-army-helicopter-pilot-it\/\">COVID-era Reprimand Removed for Army Helicopter Pilot, but It Still Remains a Career Killer Unless Personnel from the Defense Department Act Swiftly<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Wikimedia Commons (U.S. Navy photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Robert Whelan) Prior to the military\u2019s implementation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
