I've recently moved from NYC to California and my CAI unit is in Norfolk. Old CO did not ask us to come in on IDTT, but new CO is now making it a quarterly requirement. When I inquired about the intent, part of the reply is "we expect our CAI Sailors to drill with us quarterly IAW CNRFC policy."
However, I don't see anything in CNRFC policy requiring IDTT drills. Here, they state Cross-assigned personnel are *encouraged to travel to their supported command at least once per quarter or per the Active Component command OSPlan." The FY20 Force Execution Guidance doesn't mandate it either.
I know I can rectify this by submitting for a new set of orders in JOAPPLY, but then I'd likely find myself moving units again (just did a TRUIC change for the move in Sept) and spiralling myself into a larger mess as I anticipate having to get orders adjusted for an overseas move that'll take place at the end of the calendar year. I'd rather just maintain the status quo and not go on IDTT more than the upcoming one.
Appreciate any gouge on this.
