Brain,
You have clearly "speed read" over one of my previous posts. If the Welfare Package is implemented then LOA stops because the welfare package provides papers, telephone connectivity (not free), internet access, television etc.
IE is not payable because Field Conditions have been declared, this means amongst other things food is free. The employers responsibility is to feed the troops, not to feed them and give them change left over for their own use. Field conditions equally apply if living under canvas on SPTA eating ORP.
Puma det is not at the Army locations for the simple reason of logistics, there is not enough bedspaces or hangarage. The flight safety call is always a valid point but is also becoming used far too often and not always appropriately.
As I said earlier, be careful of what you wish for. PAYD.
