Your leave packet was not approved by the BDE CDR. However, I've updated your DA 31 IOT reflect your paternal leave dates from 28 Jun-07 Jul. CPT Graves this is unsatisfactory and I'm totally disappointed w/ your actions. We'll address this matter upon you return to theater. I expect you to adjust your leave according, if your fail to do as directed I will recommend UCMJ for failing to comply w/ my guidance.
CPT Graves you departed the AO w/out an approved leave form and CPT McCrea technically could has reported you as AWOL on 16 Jun. So, if you have any questions or concerns give me a call or follow-up w/ an email. At this point you will be authorized 21-days and the paternal leave date are annotated above.
