Is it possible to grant a three-day pass during the usual duty week?

Granting a three-day pass during the usual duty week is permissible under certain circumstances, which is why the answer is yes. Typically, a three-day pass can be issued to allow service members to have some personal time off, which can be beneficial for morale and overall well-being.

Policies regarding leave and passes can vary based on unit regulations and operational requirements, but generally, a commanding officer has the discretion to approve passes that extend through a weekend, allowing service members to enjoy a long weekend even during a regular duty week. This flexibility supports the balance between fulfilling military obligations and allowing for personal time.

The other choices are limited in scope or contradict the broader capabilities of commanding officers to grant passes.
