When requesting leave through your chain of command, how may forms do you have to fill out for an overnight anywhere besides the actually leave form?
It is amazing to me that with digitization we have come to require so many documents just to go on vacation or to spend the night somewhere besides your usual residence. Exactly how many does your service/unit require?
P.S. Yes, I know you retirees can simply select NONE!

The DA 31 is a relatively simple form to fill out in order to request leave. It is completely digital, and can be filled out, signed and submitted without printing it out until you need your own copy with control number. My question is why have Army units created leave packets that have to be submitted? What is the purpose of a cover sheet, a strip map, a fake flight itinerary (I say fake because I personally never purchase tickets until I am approved), POV inspection even if SM is flying, TRiPs report (which is also digital but need to print that out, LES, DUI counseling, last PT test, etc etc ad nauseam, and that is not even going into trying to take leave OCUNUS which is a whole other level of ridiculousness.
Someone smarter than me, please enlighten me as to why this is necessary.
