Pandasmores posted:God drat, for my HM3 to take OCONUS leave to Canada he needs our COs thumbs up. For him to have left Sicily and head to Scotland he just needed his department head's nod. Poor dude, America bores the hell out of him. Last time he asked to go on Leave to some places he had visited before, everyone just sat on it asking him a million questions about why he was going and he had to cancel it after several months of waiting because the tickets got expensive. Not like everything is going to fall apart without him. This was actually a serious factor in my decision to get out of the Navy. I spent two tours overseas, and did as much travelling as I could, but the hassle to do it was pretty ridiculous, some times. When I finally got back to the US and tried to take leave to go on vacation overseas, my chain of command had 0 working knowledge of the process like a command in Italy did, and that made it virtually impossible to use my leave the way I wanted to, and my ticket price window breezed by while we were still loving around with the country clearance poo poo. The worst part of that was that my old command had let me run the requests thru APACS myself - I did trips to Israel and South Africa. These fuckers had me go through some Ensign who had no idea what she was doing. Anyway, the biggest pro- argument the Navy always had retention-wise for me was 30 days of paid leave, but if you expect me to forgo actual vacations and fritter it away a nickle and a dime at a time, the floor falls right out of that argument. Also, while I was going through that, had to explain what the gently caress Machu Picchu is to a series of grown men.

SpaceJustice posted:What is TDRL? Temporary Disability Retirement List It's medical retirement, but you have to be re-evaluated by military doctors at some point, because the severity or impact of the medical condition that rendered you unfit for military service may improve or worsen. The other is PDRL. Obviously the "P" stands for "Permanent." That's for when they don't expect the severity or impact of the medical condition rendering you unfit for service will not change.

Angry Fish posted:I signed, but then there is that 30 + 90 days of bureaucratic mess I potentially have to wait for before I get my discharge orders cut. This actually happened really fast for me, so get your poo poo together. Your retirement date is less than 90 days from the day your signature hits their desk.

Angry Fish posted:I'm really proud that it took me half a minute to figure out just what the gently caress FRG meant, and that I never ever had anything to do with the family readiness group and their weird "I am[married to] the CMC," beady-eyed politicking. I spent my entire military career childless and unmarried, resulting in my leaving the service with like 20k in cash lmao at anyone with dependents
