With the Supreme Court ruling that gay couples can get married nationwide, will the DoD still provide unchargeable leave to go get married?

Right, so it shouldn't be an issue anymore. But lets say there is a Soldier in Texas who tries and is denied the right to get married (as almost instructed to do by Gov. Abbott). Should they then be permitted that leave or told to try another courthouse?

Also, lets say the same Soldier's significant other is in California. Should they be allowed to still take those days to travel to California to get married even though it is allowed in Texas? I only play devils advocate because I can see a couple wanting to use this "free leave" and go get married somewhere else, even though their state allows it, it getting denied then resulting in an IG complaint or congressional.

SGT(P) (Join to see) The rules were quite clear that the leave only was applicable if you lived more than 100 miles from a state that allowed it. So in your first scenario (until the state complies) they would get it and in the second they would not.

I agree.

Probably not, since it was specifically there to allow gay couples travel time to a state that would let them get married.

SFC Davis, can you please clarify on what you mean with, "they will get their fair share."

Their rights/unchargeable leave.
