<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>30 years in the service answer... if you don&#39;t want to be on duty over the holiday take block leave as available. If you want to gamble on getting stuck then stick around the company area.<br />Also passes are not guaranteed, the fact that they require approval means they are subject to disapproval.<br />Hence the encouragement of commanders to grant accrued leave.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>All good points.1. The unit must be manned at all times if folks are present. 2. Passes are a privilege and requests can be denied by the chain of command. 3. If the troop declined block leave then, their 4th POC belongs to the 1SG as needed. 4. I suggest they wait till the roster is posted and then try again for a pass.
