Sorry to necro, but it fits the thread.
Does this mean that for weekends NOT including a stat holiday, leave passes generally aren't used? I know all about leave passes and entitlement and how technically they are required, but in my limited experience I've seen many things like that, which I was taught to the letter of the law but which are lax in the real world.
Don't jump on me, I know the rules, I'm not trying to cut corners. This is just one of those things I could see people giving the old wink to (like the example giving of signing a blank pass) but which I haven't been in long enough to find out for myself.
For example, I am at school in London, my family is in Kitchener (outside 50 km, for those not from Ontario). But since my ULO (essentially a civilian clerk who liaison with ROTP members) has my cell phone number he says I'm good to go back and forth at my discretion (usually once a month or so) without any formal correspondence. Is this the way it would work for most units for similar distances? (Ie, going to a cottage or something on weekends close by, not travelling across the country)
Thanks.
