All the military writing guides out there based on A-AD-121-CO/FP-000 are locally-adopted.
ModlrMike said:News to me, however the guide I provided is what is taught to RMS and LogOs.
Pusser said:This might be killing ants with a sledgehammer, but this is a good QR&O to know:
19.12 - COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMMANDING OFFICER
An officer or non-commissioned member may, upon application, see the member's commanding officer on any personal matter.
It is worth noting that there is nothing in this regulation that states a member has to explain to anyone why he/she wants to see the CO (other than the CO obviously). If nothing happens soon, the OP may wish to book an appointment with the CO to ask how his application is progressing.

MARS said:Perhaps it is a navy thing, but the events that led to The Mainguy Report is something that was drilled into me HARD as a junior officer. Days of instruction were rightly allocated to that event. I would never...ever...dream of refusing or in any way slowing down such a request. It could be written in crayon and it will still get accepted. Nor would any of the officers or Petty Officers under my Command. Not if they wanted to live thru the rest of the day. But as well, skipping the Chain on the way up doesn't mean my XO/Coxn won't be fully briefed after the fact.
A (near?) mutiny will do that to a Service, I guess. We as a Navy don't ever want to go through that again.

Eye In The Sky said:Good point; the OP just knows the application hasn't gone forward and believes it is with the Adjt. The deadline is approaching but not passed and might be "#5 on the list".
However, if the delay is intentional and will see the deadline pass...well, I'd like to think some people will have some explaining to do. However, given my experience I'll say that the CofC isn't held accountable for f**kin' with Jnr NCO's and Pte's OT applications. And IMO they should be.
