The Government filed a timely notice of appeal on 24 April The record, however, indicates that the commander in this case went beyond the requirements of AFI in at least one material sense. AFIwhich sets out the Air Force drug abuse prevention and treatment program, encourages members to seek assistance themselves.
We conclude that the military judge did not abuse her discretion. We hold that such an order constitutes the entire process of notification set out in the instruction governing the urinalysis program, including presentment of the notification letter to qfi member.
