Just a quicl post to see if anyone has any gen, experience or advice about this little incident.

I am a 45yo single SNCO living in the mess. The other evening around 6pm, there was a fire alarm in the mess and we all dutifully lined up outside waiting for tommy-toast burner to be outed. That evening, my girlfriend happened to be visiting my room and she was stood with me.
The next day, I was summoned in before the CMC to explain why she was in my room. Apparently, some very nice fellow SNCO had anonymously called him to investigate why I had someone in my room.

Apparently, I am not allowed to have a female guest in my room. Surely this contravenes some kind of human rights guff?

To be honest, the CMC was very nice and basically implied that he didn't give a toss what I did but had to "be seen" to be taking some action. I enquired with a friend who runs a JRs block and was given an exceprt from their block orders which state that they class the SLAM as "their home" and there are no curfew restrictions on guests, as long as they are properly signed on camp.

This raises two issues:

1. Why, as a grown up am i apparently not allowed to have a visitor?
2. What kind of spineless little cnut reports a fellow SNCO for this?

As it is, i have sorted it with the CMC and if the **** who did this is reading, please come and knock and my door and make yourself known.
 
Every set of Mess rules I have ever read states that overnight guests are permitted and you are responsible for their conduct.

Check them out for your Unit, I would.

If it is in there, then a nice polite letter to the CMC highlighting the fact would be great...he'd love the fact you knew Mess rules better than he did. Arf!

As for the numb nuts who grassed you up, he obviously doesn't get any!
 
Hmmm....

Hmmm....

Where are you? RAF Dark Ages...? :PDT_Xtremez_42:

Ok, a bit of t'intranet surfing solves this one as far as I can tell.

Check out JSP 464 Part 3 Chapter 6.

In summary:

Barrack Regimes (can you tell it's a JS document...?) are decided by local commanders, so if it says in SSOs or Mess Rules you can't have guests staying in your room - you can't - although this contradicts the following...!

You can't have someone co-habit with you - i.e. make it their home (no matter how good looking she is....)

Para 0603 states that visits to SLA by guests of the occupant is permitted for short periods - this applies to All Personnel.

Bear in mind, these are policy GUIDELINES. If your local commander decides different, so be it.... although IMHO he'd be struggling to make it stick.

I'd check SSOs and Mess Rules in the first instance. If they're clear, I'd print out page 6-1 of said JSP and go and wave it at the CMC... and then find the tw@t that blabbed and invite him round the back of the hangar for a chat... :PDT_Xtremez_32:
 
The CMC did actually say "if you can find something that says it's ok, I will certainly change my mess rules"

Very fare of him really.

Thanks for the above advice, I shall print that off.
