	1.  the Battalion Commander, demonstrating the method for teaching people to overcome their fear of heights by initially jumping off small platforms, instructed her to stand on a footlocker.  When she told him that she felt stupid, he told her to get down and then demonstrated the technique himself,

	2.  the applicant was advised that a representative of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps and special agents from the Criminal Investigation Command would be observing her interview of the accused soldier.  She informed the soldier that her statements were neither confidential nor privileged.  Following the interview of the soldier, the member of JAG reviewed his notes with the applicant, who did not object, and

	3.  the applicant was reassigned from the 82nd Airborne Division to Womack Army Medical Center because she was not and did not desire to become airborne qualified, which is a requirement for assignment to that unit.

In lieu of the requested affidavits, she furnished a newspaper article, dated 5 days after her request was received at the Board and a copy of her prior denial of release from active duty.

3.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis upon which to grant the applicant’s request.
