    Not Covered On "Off Duty" Travel? [Split Topic}

    You are not on the clock (on duty) when you have submitted a valid leave pass.  You are on leave.  And if you are not on duty and you are injured you MAY not be covered by VA, depending on the situation.  If you are travelling on the queen's dime and she says that she will put you on a plane...

    All About PAT (merged)

    No, it has not gotten better because of Foxtrot Coy. Just more injuries, and more Bull-oney. The only thing that could make it better is if they had a fresh turnover in staff, morale would build and it wouldn't be so bad. :salute:
