If you are ordered by the CIC, you go. That's what we do. Civilian control of the military. Even if the CIC is an idiot.

Of course, I'll bet I could be in traction in a hospital after I got the orders and before the attending date.

I would get sick and tell them I couldn’t make it. No way I’d attend. Let them proove I wasn’t sick.

FUBO!!!

Any particularly good reason for that "tradition" to continue?

Civilian control of the military is highly overrated.
