7th Cavalry Furlough Policy

Purpose

The purpose of furlough is to provide those members who provide daily support to the Regiment time off, free from their normal duties during the Holidays of Christmas and New Years.


Definition of Furlough

Furlough is a period of 2-3 weeks, starting on the Saturday 1 week before Christmas, and ending the first Friday after New Years. There will be an announcement post made by the Chief of Staff in the General Announcements area of the forums stating the dates of furlough each year. There will be a Regimental Meeting to end the year and kick off Furlough on the Saturday that starts furlough.

During this 2-3 week period the Support Departments or S Shops are shut down and no work will be required of these departments. In addition to this work stoppage, there are no official events, training classes, operations, roll calls, or practices unless they meet the following conditions;

  • Approval from the General Staff is required.
  • Any work required from support departments must be agreed to and coordinated between necessary support departments at least 2 weeks prior to furlough
  • Any required work for such events must be voluntary, Commanders and Department Leads are prohibited from requiring their members to work during furlough.
  • Any award submissions for Operations or Events that occur during Furlough are not to be submitted until Furlough has ended.
