Is it within my Command's right to have me muster during my leave?

So I am currently on liberty risk type c for reasons I will not disclose. Part of the policy is that I am to muster morning and evening however I am currently on leave. I am to fly stateside shortly but until then I am on base. My question is brace it is a denial of liberty, a privilege, is it within the commands right to have me muster during my leave , a right. It is liberty risk and therefore not a punishment but isn’t mustering during leave a punishment?

Commanders have a wide range of authority. They could just pull your leave all together, whether it is mission or your personal safety. They can also put you on psych hold in a treatment facility. If you were put in a risk management category I don't think you can count that as punishment.

Yes. Your command can do a lot.

PO, I would say suck it up and muster. Liberty risk is given to correct bad behavior without taking you to mast. It would be a good idea not to piss off your Chain of Command.
