Worth the Trip?

[bunk22]

So have I. The point is, I knew what the rules were and didn't expect it when I knew it wasn't authorized by the MILPERSMAN. I know it's hard to believe, but there are some CO's out there that take this shit seriously; they follow the regs to the letter. This and only this is what I'm trying to get across.

Then why not say that instead of playing games? In my 14 years, I have yet to come across a CO that hasn't given house hunting leave. Even the hard core ones.

Bunky,

I know in the C2 world, you have been insulated from all things SWO. Much like women being more insane than usual 1 week out of the month, that is just their way. Easier to just let it be, and be glad that as a COD guy, you have never had to deal with them in the way that HSL does.

No games. In my 14 years, I saw it happen several times where sailors got denied househunting. While the large majority of the denials came from Submariners and SWO's, I have seen two aviator CO's deny househunting.

Why? For fun? That doesn't seem fall in line with taking care of one's troops very well.

Yea, we can sit here and bounce stories back and forth all day and night about personal experiences regarding who got househunting leave and who didn't, where they were coming from and where they were going. I don't really care. It doesn't matter. There are times when it can be authorized and there are times when it shouldn't be authorized. It's not a right, an entitlement, or whatever else you want to call it. And technically, it's 5 days which can be extended to 10 days if you include weekends, holidays, and liberty. The latter IS more typical, however, which is why the common belief is that it's 10 days. Additionally, for the record, new acessions are not authorized househunting leave at all. If they get it, so be it and good for them.

House hunting PTAD is automatically authorized for ALL aviation offciers. It is automatically denied for all blackshoes in order to better acclimate them to the miserable, screwed-up world of being a surface warfare officer.

Finally, someone has logically explained the reasoning

In the 19 years we've been married my husband has never been able to take it. Had nothing to do with CO's being jerks....just bad timing.

Didn't Seaman Jones marry Seaman Schmuckatelly?

Finally, a voice of reason. I feel better now.

Seaman Jones has nothing on LCpl Lunchmeat, PFC Beltbuckle, or PVT Jenkins.
