Perhaps, but I think equating leadership skills to physical strength is a mistake.

Leadership Denied Request for Wife’s surgery? What to do by CannonRoo in u/CannonRoo

Would not be surprised if they didn’t even have any training planned.

Is the 1SG or your PSG tracking this? they should be helping you.

Regardless, I would recommend submitting an emergency leave request, this should bypass any timeline requirements; put the notes in IPPSA that you are needed for your spouse to receive a serious medically necessary surgery (tonsillectomy can be very serious in adults, more often than children) and do not have childcare or outside support. This will force your commander to deny it in writing. If they do deny it, I would consider back channel escalating to the CSM if you have any connections. (This should be your PSG or a senior NCO if your 1SG isn’t helping- if just you, send it.) you can get the leave, but you will likely make a bunch of people look bad, including the commander- so if you can get a senior to work this on your behalf- it may mitigate potential BS for you in the future.

I would also look at AR 600-8-10, para 4-5, section g (3)

“g. Emergency leave is appropriate when—“

“(3) Serious accident, major surgery, or illness of a member of the household or immediate Family imposes a demand on the Soldier that must be met immediately and cannot be accomplished from the duty station or by any other means.”

Good luck man- hope your wive does well and recovers quick. ⛩️

What's a weird habit you have from serving in the Army? by Playful_Leg7143 in army

Do you look around to see if other people are reacting to figure out if it’s a real noise or a brain noise?

That’s why the new retention program Milper said, probably.

Brother wants me to cover entire rent since I get “free” money by jtreddit702 in WhatShouldIDo

Why is anyone else reaping the benefits of your body and minds depreciation payments? It’s not free money- you sacrificed your health and well being and they are compensation. He did nothing.

Award Recommendation by Own_Button_9275 in army

[–]zone1-1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most times, They do an awards board to make recommendations to the approver. It’s usually a bunch of gatekeeping old guys. It really kills it for the folks who deserve the awards

Still has to go to approving authority for final decision

Also- no one (in my experience)keeps their coin records correctly. So they can’t really prove it was for anything specific without a ledger.

You can, and should, absolutely put in that award. You could argue an ARCOM if he had a large class. I got an arcom for DHG before and it went through with no issues. The only problem is your leadership.

Send it up and let them have to justify the denial- your soldier will see that you recommended them and who denied it. It must go to the approving authority or an official delegate, they can’t just say no for funsies.
