Semper Fi AI

No. Neither the Plaintiff’s Leadership Group (PLG) nor the Navy possesses muster rolls dated after 1959, nor do they have access to our privately held collection of cruise books and yearbooks. The PLG (and presumably the Navy) only has access to publicly available records—such as the Globe newspaper archives, early muster rolls, and materials housed at the Evidence Depository maintained by Bell Legal Group.

Rubris is reportedly linking claimant data to government sources and the housing database, including the 2018 ATSDR Morbidity Study Database and the Civilian Occupation Study. However, our analysis indicates that these studies include overlapping data and collectively cover fewer than 60,000 claimants.

No. The responsibility for establishing causation lies with the claimant, not the Navy.

Yes. Semper Fi AI is trained on base housing rules and data, accessible exclusively to partnering law firms. We can provide housing information to the Navy on your client’s behalf upon request. Keep in mind that fewer than 25% of Marines lived in family housing, and addresses are not required for the Elective Option settlement.

For more details, see “What is the Hype Around Housing?” in the Camp Lejeune Circle Roundtable from May 2, 2024. (Please note you must be an approved member of SimplyConvert’s Camp Lejeune Litigation Circle to view this link.)

Yes. Semper Fi AI has been trained to assist with the analysis of historical military records. 

Additionally, we have a team of experienced researchers available to conduct onsite research at the National Archives and can obtain official military records for an additional fee.

The May 30th deadline ensures inclusion in the initial round of claimant substantiation provided to the Navy. Additional rounds are expected, but timing is uncertain. 

SimplyConvert is an independent legal technology company and has not been contracted or compensated by the Plaintiff’s Leadership Group, the Navy, or the Department of Justice. Over the past two years, we have developed the Military Database and trained Semper Fi AI without external funding.

We are working to establish a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with the Navy to allow for secure, comprehensive database access. Until that agreement is finalized, claimant substantiation will be delivered in a simplified, easily accessible format.

If the Navy ultimately declines access to the database, documentation will instead be provided directly to each law firm as downloadable PDFs. These will need to be manually uploaded to the Navy Portal, which may significantly slow the review process for each claimant.
