Is there a regulation on this kind of stuff. I understand that a duty must be preformed such as CQ and Staff Duty. However in my mind it’s very dangerous to have soldiers who live 15+ minutes away from post to preform such duties when they can have someone who lives on base preform it. And have their duties switched up. Is there any regulation on this.

no regulation I have ever heard of, but, that soldier, airmen, sailor or marine chose to marry and live off base, still has the same responsibilities and duty requirements

Here's the deal. You are a soldier 24/7/365. You are paid a "salary" not an hourly rate for work. You are ever on call, 24/7/365. You are part of a TEAM. You are not an individual, you do not have the option to choose to let someone else do your job. Its your turn.
If your sorry ass cannot drive in when you are called up for special duty, then perhaps you need to move back to the barracks.
Would you prefer your platoon Sgt can come get your ass, and bring you in, if you are afraid to drive? That way, since you have no car and cannot drive home until the weather clears and someone can drive you... you are on post, and can be tapped for a second duty.
Ruck up dude. You signed up for this.

If you can deal with the idea of people purposely shooting at you and volunteer anyways 15+ minutes on a snow and ice covered road should be no problem.

Certainly they can. Your service obligation is readiness. Living off base is your choice and responsibilities to be on post when ordered can to be ignored duëk to weather. The NCO received report ordered but who knows, in todays military you May be allowed to use your need personal time card. I Would consider you AWOL asyourcommander.

Oh Sweet Baby Jesus!!! Give me a break cupcake, it's the damn military!! Get your dead a** up and go report for duty! This is as bad as asking if there is a regulation that says your supervisor can force you to fight the enemy even though bullets may hit you!!

Any NCO or Staff NCO would tell you to be prepared. Then that same staff NCO, of he was worth a damn would have a look around to see if there was anyone available to switch with. If so, Great. If not, leave early and drive carefully.

It is the Soldier's choice to live off base at the end of the day. Yes, they still need to perform duties like everyone else.

I'm really disgusted to see this question. Unless excused from duty, you show up for duty. It's as simple as that. I'm frightened because I'm seeing questions like this more and more. As a US member of the US Armed Forces, it is and should duty first. Fine if you want to gripe, I always saw it as part of the job BUT, understand where your responsibilities lay and take pride in it.

I believe the oath of enlistment is what you are looking for.

I had a E-4 Sp/4 Slacker pull this , told him it wouldn't fly , 20 min later He calls an says car won't start , No Problem I told him I would be there in 20 minutes to pick him up , In the meanwhile I contacted my B-Team Leader who lived in the Barracks an he offered to sit in as Runner till I got Joe Slacker there .
