Discuss Holidays Abroad in The Quarterdeck on Navy Net; Hi,
if I'm thinking of booking a holiday abroad, am I officially supposed to let Pusser know? Or ask their permission?
I'd really rather not go through the route of request forms etc
Cheers

Yes you do, in case of recall etc and also depends which country you are thinking of going to. UPO keeps a list of no-no countries etc and have all the rules.

I find it hard to comprehend how someone who has served for the time you claim to have done needs to ask such a question.

Why the problem with a request form? It's not that onerous a task. Very odd.Wit lent from heaven but vices sent from hell

Request to see the Commanding Officer, through the Executive Officer, through Divisional Officer,through telescope. Or has it changed?Illius me paenitet dux

Still done on forms.

The basic gist I got was you had a make Pusser aware/ask permission in case you were either more than 48 hours away (in case of recall purposes), and that you weren't visiting a sensitive area (like China, Argentina or NI)
Is it stated somewhere in a BR or JSP that you have to declare anything? I cannot find any reference to it anywhere on paper...

Why is letting pusser know such a big deal? You going to Thailand or one of the 'men friendly' Greek islands?

The Island of Lesbos is certainly not 'men friendly'!!! Originally Posted by Guzzler

Why do you have such a hard on about not filling in a form? It will take you less than minute to fill it in then just hand it to your DO and enjoy your holiday. Originally Posted by DoubleDuff Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day,
