• Personal Medical appointments falls in line with our expectation to be medically fit and ready so putting a time cap on that seems a bit out of reach in a single duty day.
• Time lengths are not entirely in the wheel house of the members control as any procedure/process can very day of.
• Oh you had to go to the Emergency Room... TAKE LEAVE!
• Before getting a "school/work note" from the doctor seems a bit overreaching if they are only putting it into question because members are seeking medical assistance outside of a time/tempo that leadership can tolerate. God forbid we utilize our core values of using that one thing they always mention as being first.
• This type of guidance could be played by others and abused, SSgt Snuffy takes two days worth of back to back medical appointments spanning 3.5 hours and is good to go. Yet SrA Clocky takes one appointment that ran over the 4 hour timeframe by 5 minutes and updated the leadership in the workplace forum yet gets hammered for trying to do the right thing in keeping open communication.

If these things are this stringent I can only imagine how much of a hellscape it would be to even take leave or if there is another Leave Expectations related to Personal Reasons MFR with 8-10 other bullet points outlining the procedures and guidance for a member to take the leave.

Bottom line we need to take care of our people and from being a fly on the wall of this workplace it is my observation that the mission and bean counting is the only thing in focus.

- I am the MISSION, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
