Purpose
1. The purpose of this Standing Order is to provide guidance with regard to student requests to live ashore.
General
2. In accordance with ref B, CF members undergoing basic recruit training are required to reside in DND training quarters. CF members awaiting or undergoing occupation training are authorized to reside in residential accommodations of their choice, unless there is a bona fide environmental/military indoctrination requirement, or an occupational or pedagogical training requirement for members to reside in DND quarters.
Ref C further stipulates the requirement that CF members must continue to reside in DND quarters until the completion of Naval Environmental Indoctrination Programme (NEIP). Cmdt CFFSE is authorized to exercise the BCmd’s discretion in allowing students latitude for consideration to live ashore, as detailed at ref C.
3. In general terms, all CFFSE students shall live in SQ until completion of NEIP regardless of marital status or prior geographical location. This period is intended to include both Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) and NEIP, after which students may be given flexibility to choose to live ashore. Considerations that may warrant approval to live ashore prior to the completion of this period include the following:
a. completion of at least six months of service. Reserve force service will not necessarily be considered as contributing to this requirement, but may be assessed on a case-by-case basis;
b. completion of NEIP. Students who have undergone Occupation Transfer (OT) or who have re-enrolled from other Environmental Commands may be granted exclusion from certain portions of NEIP and as such, may be given consideration to live ashore. All individuals in this situation will be assessed on a case-by-case basis;
c. the ability of the trainee to live ashore without adversely affecting training; and
d. positive recommendation from the individual’s Chain of Command.
Direction
4. Students wishing to live ashore are to submit a “Request to Live Ashore” memorandum (ref D) and a Service Request Form (ref E) through their respective divisional system. Divisional Minute Sheets are to accompany the request and are to include the following information:
a. student data (i.e., name/trade/course serial/course dates, etc);
b. salient points of the request; and
c. Div Cdr recommendation.
5. Division Commanders are to forward the request form, memorandum, ancillary documentation and the Pers File to SO Admin for staffing to the Commandant for the final decision concerning living ashore.
