So you can go to a funeral without notifying anybody and then reveal it to guilt someone saying that is why you can’t go. People in the military can’t even do that hell they will even deny it depending on your position and the mission.

They live in the stinking swamp and deserve it. The Americans I have talked with think congress is a joke , I don,’t have a word for it because it isn’t funny it is treason.

No show no pay like 3/4 of people with a job to do.. it’s hard to have to chose to miss a family member funeral but sometimes it happens. That’s usually why theirs a wake the night before the service so. I mean unless it was a parent spouse or child. Not trying to be heartless but I’ve missed my fair share but it was my choice. I knew the job requirements and I knew my responsibilities. Also let’s not for get to these have access to alot of private plains. So ah yeah…
