With the Supreme Court ruling that gay couples can get married nationwide, will the DoD still provide unchargeable leave to go get married?

Due to character limitations I could not post, "With the Supreme Court ruling that homosexual couples can now get married nationwide, will the DoD no longer provide them up to 10 days of unchargeable leave to go get married?"

Well in the reaches of true equality they inherently should not, right? Or are we going to make people more equal?

I am sure they will drop the 7 days of non-chargeable CONUS leave since it was only granted to couples that had to travel out of state to legally get married. Once all the states get their processes in place after the 25 days rehearing period. I would wager that the OCONUS leave will still be in place.

Historic indeed and in my opinion they will get their fair share.

Unchargeable? Someone must have changed the rules since I was in. I had to take 10 days leave to get married.

Its about time. Who cares who marries who? Does it affect you or me in anyway? No so why should we care on who loves who? I am glad it finally got approved.

I also heard a threat that they are just warming up. Look what happened to the Pizza shop owner who answerd a gotcha question. And a thousand gay bullies trampled on her store. and the CEO who had to resign because he gave money for prop eight. They are going to come down hard on anyone who believes in the definition of marriage as one man and one woman. Know they will try to purge everything they are the new ISIS. ISIS has been blowing up any remnants of there history. This was never about equality. They could have got that with civil unions. It was all about changing the definition of marriage.

Unchargable leave? Never heard of it unless its the new term for basket leave, I have been retired just over 10 years now, and that was an option you had for extending a year onboard this ship and it was 15 days if I remember correctly. I wish they would stop making up stupid rules and just have someone take leave to get married and go on their honeymoon. Stop with all the PC crap already.
