But it works fine for everyone so it's ok.....until something goes wrong. Cpl Bloggins is supposed to be at work and instead is 200 kms away visiting his wife family and showing off the new baby. Oops, he gets in an accident, hospital, leg amputated, looking at medical release and the questions start.
I have no problem with giving the member time off if the CO wants to but it should adhere to current regulations. We don't get to totally ignore the regulation because it suits us. Compassionate is so wide open for the CO there is no reason the member can not submit the leave pass and have it approved by the CO if the CO wants to go that route. Myself I have always planned accordingly and had annual leave to take until the PATA leave started on Sunday.
