SIT Taking Leave

[Username1999]

I OOC'd from SCS pro term, and have been an SIT for almost three months now but haven't gotten my posting. I'm planning to fly back home for a week because of my birthday in around two months. If I still haven't gotten posted out, am I allowed to take leave during that period? Or SIT cannot take leave?

of course you can lol

If you are store helper SIT, ask your coy in charge. If you are helping out admin, ask your admin PC or PS.

For others, just ask your HQ in charge and apply through them. I have SIT friends in ocs and scs, both took leaves with no issues.

Also 3 months? You done your medical appointments already? Take it upon yourself to ask about your posting, they might have forgotten about you. I have a friend who Ord as a SIT in ocs... Pretty pathetic..

One can apply to take leave, doesn’t meant it will be approved.

No, it'll be approved. Soldier in transit leaves can't be denied as they have no obligation as a SIT.

There's a form both the SIT and In charge signs that acknowledges this.

If it will be approved then why need to apply since it’s a given. Rubber stamp is still a form of approval and can be denied for whatever reason.

The very fact that there’s a need to sign to acknowledge this means that the in charge can choose not to sign and not acknowledge right.

1: Because leave procedure is handled by a different department. The department still needs to be informed when one is on leave so that they can update the system and update your leave day balances accordingly.

Approving personnel is your in charge who cannot under normal circumstances, reject a SIT's leave.

2: The form is signed the moment the soldier becomes a SIT. If the in charge doesn't sign and acknowledges, the soldier is not a SIT.

Yes so crucial point. Cannot “under normal circumstances” reject a SIT’s leave.

So it means, can apply, whether gets approved is another matter.

What are you talking about.

SIT can go for leave no matter what. If you're going to DB, you can't go for leave and you're not a SIT either.

If you are recoursing, you are not a SIT, you are a recoursee.

Once again, we are talking about SIT here.

Then why did you qualify your statement with “under normal circumstances”?

To emphasise situations such as a SIT going to DB is not a SIT anymore therefore losing his rights as a SIT.

Distilling all these down, it’s still true that can apply, whether approve is another matter.

There’s no automatic right and process for leave approval, the very fact that human intervention is required.

So to manage TS expectations, it’s better to under promise and over deliver, that is he can apply, and the chances of his application being rejected is next to none unless in exceptional circumstances.

You don’t want to end up in the situation where TS somehow end up in the exceptional circumstances and you never mentioned what these exceptional circumstances are before I clarified your statement, and thus end up being disappointed.

SIT have no obligations so leaves are approved on the spot as you ask for it.

You simply say you want to go on leave and you go for it. Whether you agree or not, it's not up to you.

Leaves are “approved” on the spot.

The very fact that approval has to be sought means it’s not an automatic right and process. Human intervention is still required.
