Passes

Your attending physician may authorize a pass. However, charges for your stay continue while you are on pass.

For active duty patients, the Patient Squadron Section Commander is the final approving authority for any pass. You must have an AF Form 569, "Patients Absence Record". All passes must have the approval of the attending physician. This approval is shown by either the signature of the physician or the charge nurse on the AF Form 569. All active duty patients must maintain the standards of their respective service, including personal appearance, hygiene and conduct both in and out of the hospital. Any military member returning from pass, convalescent leave, or subsistence elsewhere and believed to be under the influence of alcohol may be given a blood alcohol test.

The four types of passes are:

* Weekday pass: granted for a day or fractions of a day between 1000 and 2100.

* Overnight pass: granted from 1400 to 0800 the next morning.

* Weekend pass: granted 1400 Friday to 2100 Sunday or 0800 on Monday.

* Holiday pass: determined based on the day of the week on which the holiday falls.
