I just got a call saying no one can now sign out on the day they were approved for and everyone has to wait until the next duty day to sign out. Can my unit do this?

Ran into this with short notice fillers for Panama and Somalia. Soldiers still went but the command was able to get them relief on the tickets.

Same-same for three day passes. Regular pass just sign out when you leave and in when you got back from town or wherever.
