American idol , navy man

[Falls]

I saw a thing on tv tonight about a Navy guy who got a leave of absence from the Navy to do idol.

I'm all for support of troops and being in law enforcement myself I appreciate the service they provide , BUT people who are having a child or home hardship can't get a leave when they need to be with family ( which to me is a hell of a lot more important than some idiot on idol)

unacceptable !

Seems silly to let him off for that, but it's like how Military and Intelligence go together sometimes...

Is this guy a finalist right now? I do think that is a little shady but if he is a finalist he could be entering a life changing event that would benefit his family and the Navy can use it for promotional purposes too but I'd like to see details.

That is ridiculous. Like Ron said I would like to see the details of that, but if it is how it looks that is completely unacceptable.

Serving your country is about making sacrifices. Freaking Navy.

P.S. I thought it was against the rules to own a 4runner and watch american idol? Something about 'The code of Baddassery' clause or something like that?

Didn't know how old it was but just saw him on the TV Guide channels the other day talking. I've never watched American Idol , so I can't speak for that.
