PT is at 0630, and people are making up rules. Required to show up 4 hours early for Staff Duty for no reason.

If you have a schedule conflict, go to your chain of command to get it resolved. If you should be excused from PT to carry out other directed duties then they can handle it.

Why wouldn't you be required to be there? It's a published unit formation and activity and your predecessor will remain on duty until properly relieved.

I meant absolutely no disrespect Sir. It was not required until today from our unit. I was just confused, because we have never been made to come in for PT on days when we are scheduled to do a 24 hour shift. We were told that is our place of duty, and that is where we report to. There was no information put out that policies had changed, so I was looking for possible protection against a negative counseling or possible FTR for a soldier who has never done anything wrong.

Read the staff duty book. You have 24 hours anyways. Most units will publish their policy about pre and post staff duty working hours in their duty binder.

Good advice. He might have access to it once a month, depending. I always read through all the letters on the graveyard shift. Often outdated, but usually informative. Once all the EPD and Restriction folks made their last sign in before taps, things got real quiet, except on weekends after midnight. On payday. Let the ADNCO sleep, cause he's likely not getting the next day off, and most anything can roll in the DNCO (CQ) hut at night.
