I tracked down my LPO and learned that yes, it was put out at morning muster that several personnel, I among them, are being sent TAD for a few weeks. When do we leave? Thursday.

They let me and the others go home early today so we can pack and all, but seriously, nobody had more than 48 hours' notice (which I was told is relatively luxurious). Stay on your toes, because they LOVE to make you dance.
I had to do that to one of my sailors once. I felt really bad about it...
I found out Friday morning at khaki call that he was going TAD to another ship getting underway on Monday Needless to say, I sent him home as soon as quarters was done.
