Troop, you purchased flight tickets before you got permission?


Exquisitum

Sounds like S2 is gonna have to whip up a PowerPoint on OCONUS leave SOPs.


OPFOR_S2

Why would I? We haven’t updated the last once since 2003 and it’s still good.


MarginalSadness

It was never good. Barely tolerable, maybe.

One night I was in Texas and some how woke up in Mexico


crexkitman

How long after did your pee start burning?


LedLeppelin

After it was mixed into the shit barrel with some JP-8

My real boy job outside the guard was to travel to different countries. I told my s2 I would not be submitting paperwork to travel to other countries and he could revoke my clearance if he wanted to. Guess what they did? Not a god damn thing.


JustinMcSlappy

That's highly dependent on your security manager and is going to pop lots of red flags if you tell them on your next SF86. I did a shitload of oconus travel on official orders and still had a SF86 colonoscopy.


Baystate411

I did submit stuff on my sf86. Sometimes I wouldn't know if I was going to a country until the same day of travel. Air Force guys do it all the time. It's not a big deal


Wzup

What countries were you going to? Canada/UK/Australia is going to look a lot differently than Iraq/China/Qatar

I'm an amateur arms dealer focusing in south east Asia.


Wzup

Oh that’s interesting. I’m an amateur pharmacist focusing on the South American market. We should link up and see how our businesses could help each other.


Vcatbugz

ATF would like to know your current location.


Wzup

Just ask the DEA, they know already


xStaabOnMyKnobx

Fuck no are you crazy? If you wanna leave the country that's fine but you've got to let people know. You can't just go OCONUS with no notice.


Unable-Patience2788

If you're a wuss you can't


xStaabOnMyKnobx

Hey you can do anything once


ijumpouttaairplanes

Active duty so maybe my experience is different, but I've been to cancun/playa 3 times. First time s2 kinda cared, made me sign a briefing about avoiding exploitation, read the DoS country facts and status. Second time they dngaf, just made sure I wasn't goin to Chihuahua or somewhere I'd lose my head. Most recent time s2 really cared, same briefing I had to sign, DoS stuff, and APACS. I've had a TS since the 2nd trip so maybe that made them care more. Everything depends on where you're going. The APACS is just a friendly notice to the OSC that Americans are in their AOR. If you're not going somewhere that's red on the DoS site, I'd send it. Get the contact info for Post One and the OSC off the DoS website, have those easily accessible. Have some kind of idea how you'd notify them if you get balled up or more likely you're in the hospital and unconscious. Just don't do anything stupid and you could ostensibly go and return and no one would know.


lemming000

You're fine enjoy your trip


Typical-Direction743

Go online to foreign clearance guide. It well tell you you requirements for reserve and active MOS.


Not-SMA-Nor-PAO

Send an email with where you’re going, what dates you’re going, and who your emergency contact is. Do AT level 1 and Charlie Mike. I’m persec.


Smart_Function9612

I had to do half a dozen forms, apply for another half a dozen travel safety alert systems, complete a hum-rights awareness course, and get multiple briefs from S2 just to get permission to go to Canada. So yeah, I'd say you should at the very least mention your trip to your first line.

You'll shoot your eye out

If you can max the overhead yeet nobody will care what you do

THE OVER-HEAD YEET MEASURES THE ABILITY TO JUST FUCKING SEND IT. ON THE COMMAND, ‘GET SET’, ASSUME THE POSITION BY SPINNING THE BALL TWICE IN YOUR HANDS, THEN TRY TO DRIBBLE IT LIKE A BASKET BALL ONLY TO REALIZE IT WONT BOUNCE BACK UP TO YOU. YOUR FEET MAY BE TOGETHER OR 12 INCHES APART (MEASURED BETWEEN THE FEET) OR HOWEVER YOU WANT, JUST KEEP YOUR ASS BEHIND THAT CONE. ON THE COMMAND ‘GO’, CHANNEL YOUR INNER TREBUCHET AND HEAVE THAT THING INTO ORBIT. THEN, RETURN TO THE STARTING POSITION AND TURN AROUND TO INSPECT IF YOU DOMED ANYONE. THE SCORER WILL REALIZE HE DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEE WHERE THE BALL LANDED BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID HE WOULD GET HIT, SO HE STOOD TOO FAR AWAY, HE WILL THEN PLACE HIS FOOT ON THE MEASURING TAPE AND JUST GUESS. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

IslandOfKoreaVet

Yeah, no, don't do this. It's one thing to leave a couple hours early for leave.... it's an entirely different thing to go to MEXICO without clearance.


Baystate411

It's the reserves. People have lives outside of the part time military. It's Mexico, not Iran.


Justtryingtofly

Mexico is extremely bad even worse then Iran at certain location.


Baystate411

Go to Mexico City and say you're an American and see what happens, then do it again in tehran. Secrets Cancun is ok to go to
