The release is in the packet, and it's always been returned and since it's the way it's always been done, it's what people believe must be done....until an inquiry from the CG or a Congressman.<br /><br />Easiest way to fix this is go straight to the head of housing on your post and ask them directly if it is their policy to refuse housing if you aren't willing to sign a photo release. You'll probably find that's not their policy at all. If it is, email your congressman as well as file an ICE complaint. That's the kind of thing a CG would want to know about and changeResponse by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 4 at 2022 2:41 AM2022-03-04T02:41:45-05:002022-03-04T02:41:45-05:00CSM Darieus ZaGara7554934<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ask your command there thoughts, if it is not legit then they should already be aware. If they do not have an answer request an office call with the Garrison CSM.Response by CSM Darieus ZaGara made Mar 4 at 2022 7:41 AM2022-03-04T07:41:48-05:002022-03-04T07:41:48-05:00SSgt Christophe Murphy7554939<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I agree with SFC Boyd. Go up the chain of leadership at housing to verify if it's an official policy. So many folks in the DOD realm are creatures of habit and they assume that if something is how it has always been it must be because it is a requirement. Housing and CIF included. Both are hot beds of unofficial SOP's and policies that cause issues.Response by SSgt Christophe Murphy made Mar 4 at 2022 7:55 AM2022-03-04T07:55:13-05:002022-03-04T07:55:13-05:002022-03-03T19:36:14-05:00
