All personnel shall attend all battalion functions that their
attendance is required. Failure to do such without prior
approval will result in an unauthorized absence (UA).
Permission to not attend evolutions may be approved by
the appropriate parties via a special request chit. Special
request chits shall be submitted three business days in
advance to first appropriate billet holder in the chain of
command (i.e. if personnel were to request permission to
miss battalion physical training on Monday morning, the
chit would be due to their first level of chain of command
close of business Tuesday). Chits can be submitted within
the three business day window but there is no guarantee a
chit will be approved in time. Unless your chain of
command informs you that your chit has been approved,
you are required to attend all appropriate events.
Except when under orders, student personnel
shall not travel (either via POV or commercial air)
farther than 300 driving miles from the Tempe
campus without approved leave. All personnel
requesting to depart the Tempe campus area shall
request permission via a travel request chit.
Travel request chits shall be submitted to the first
appropriate billet holder in the chain of command
at least three business days prior to departure
date. OCONUS travel requests shall be submitted
30 days prior to departure.
To determine if a travel chit is required, use
Google Maps and measure the distance from
Social Sciences Building (951 S. Cady Mall,
Tempe, AZ 85281).
In the event that sickness or injury occurs that will
restrict a person’s ability to attend battalion
functions a medical chit is required to
authenticate the situation. Included in the
submitted medical chit will be a doctor’s note
with their findings and signature. Medical chits
shall be submitted with 24 hours of the event
missed.
