Is he implying students should not be excused on the basis of such an event, merely so they can complete their assignment?
It's worth noting that in BUD/S, if there's a death in a trainee's family, they're usually excused and rolled back to a new class upon return, giving them the opportunity to complete their current phase of training.
If universities think they should be harsher in this regard than some of the toughest military training on the planet, then that's simply deplorable.
- fapjacks 11y agoThis is the case virtually military-wide, including infantry units in active combat. I received Red Cross notices twice while on orders (once in an army school, once in Iraq), and leadership scrambles to accommodate soldiers during these events. Army (and other military) leadership doesn't mess around with Red Cross messages or a soldier's mail.
