What symptoms get you quarters in the army?
If you really were a medic you would be able to spot the malingers. One trick I used was to do an unannounced barracks check at about 8-9 PM and see if my people who were on 'quarters' were actually in bed. Anybody who went on sick call in the morning but was out partying that evening wound up in front of the CO getting an Article 15 for malingering. Another trick is to simply point out to the rest of the platoon that they have to work extra hard to make up for the slackers and let peer pressure do the rest.
Army quarters?
I was given quarters today for diarrhea. The doctor said it should be fine by tomorrow but since it's a weekend, he wrote it for 72 hours. My sergeants kept threatening to come by and check on my all weekend because they, like myself, thought the 72 hours was excessive and want to push it at me. Like, if you're getting the day off, we will make sure you spend those entire 72 hours in bed. What if they come by on Saturday or Sunday and I'm getting medicine at the store, or for whatever reason I'm not in my room? What is the absolute most they can do? Maybe my phone was off and I sleep with earpro in so they can't exactly prove I wasn't in my room and I don't have a roommate to answer them. I mean, being on quarters I'm not obligated to answer a call to report in anywhere, I'm bed ridden. I'm just saying if they want to be off the books and try to "bust" me for something, what can they actually do if I'm not there aside from smoke me on Monday or chew me out for a bit?
What does "being on quarters" mean in the Army?

Army: Quarters regulations?
Well technically two things are happening. One your husband did break the rules of quarters but at the same time that Sgt. is being a D*** head about it. If it was during duty hours what was the Sgt doing in Wal Mart? Anywhoo you are going to have to let that Sgt find a First Sergeant and a Commander that are just as big of D** heads as he is or worse before anyone is getting an Article 15 or losing any rank. So did he break the rules? Yes, is it the end of the world and we must hang your husband from the pillary for two weeks? No. If he was in a stripper bar I might question that but at Wal Mart buying tylenol??? Having been a 1SGT I would have a very very very long talk with that Sgt's Ego and see if we couldn't help him discern from gross negligence to sh** happens, not a show stopper, it's small sh** and never sweat the small sh**. I'm pretty sure if your husbands Cdr and 1SGT have half a brain your husband will be just fine, a little counseling slap on the hand and let it go.
Where in army regulations does it state how long 24 hour quarters actually is?
When I was in 24 hour quarters was until the next business day, 0600 for us. Just go back to sick call in the morning.
What is the US Army's close quarters combat system?
We train in CQM (close quarters marksmanship). But I'm assuming you mean hand-to-hand. For that, we've transitioned into Combatives, which is basically Brazilian Ju Jitsu, since around 2001 (I was in one of the first groups to go through basic training with the new method after the instructors returned from training with the Gracie's down in Brazil). The intent is that you will almost always have other soldiers around you to back you up, so it makes no sense to try and win a striking fight. Instead, just grapple and tie up the opponent long enough for your buddy to come over and put a bullet in his head.
What is meant by quarter guard in the military terminology?
In simple words - A quarter guard is a building where arms/ammunition and other valuable inventory of unit is stored. Soldiers awarded detention/confinement as punishment for minor offences are also kept inside cells (like jail) in the building and guarded 24 hours properly by a group of soldiers. Soldiers deployed as Guards are also used for ceremonial purpose if needed.
Is there an Army reg covering CQ duty? (Charge of Quarters)?
24 hour CQ is usually covered in a unit policy letter, and yes it can be done. it happens all the time. it also depends on what the no downtime means when you are saying it. no downtime to me would mean that you are going to be on duty for the full 24hours and then expected to still work the next day when you got off of CQ and your normal work shift would be starting at nine. i have seen it done and i have done it before, it all depends on your optempo and demands of your units mission. essentially the policy is that you are supposed to get 24 hours off after working 24hours. but like i said it is all in localy policies established by your command and published in there command policy letters.
Why do they call military housing "quarters"?
Love etymology!OK - let's start with the Roman Legions. The soldiers on march always set up their camps in exactly the same way - divided into four sections with the officers and certain other items in the middle - hence quarters! A drawing illustrates this layout. (http://www.roman-empire.net/army...)A tidbit more about history .... Stating with the 15th c. (1442?) (dictionary.reference.com/browse/quarters), the term was used for the section - or quarter - of the town where the soldiers lived and which was managed by the quartermaster. Next to the 16th c. - used to refer to the "section" of the town where the military lived. Continue on to the 17th c., the term is firmly entrenched as meaning military residences.In the 17th c., October 24, 1644 to be exact, the English Long Parliament issued a decree titled ORDINANCE OF NO QUARTER TO THE IRISH. That decree stipulated that no housing was to be provided to any captured enemy combatants during the battles of the Royalist/Parliamentarian conflicts. That is, the victors would not supply any housing to the defeated and that the defeated were to be executed.By the 20th c., "giving no quarter" was deemed unacceptable. With the Hague Convention of 1907, the practice of execution rather than capture was to be eliminated. From Wikipedia, quoting Article 23 of the IV Convention - The Laws and Customs of War on Land, "... it is forbidden ... to declare that no quarter will be given". From the way it is written, it is clear that everyone understood that "quarter" meant housing for captured combatants.During October 1946, the Nuremberg Trial Proceedings, in Vol. 1, the Charter of the International Military Tribunal (http://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/j...), Article 6 states: " (b) War Crimes: namely, violations of the laws or customs of war. Such violations shall include, but not be limited to, ... ill-treatment or murder of prisoners of war ... "In its evolution, now the idiom - GIVE NO QUARTER - has come to mean the equivalent of "no mercy" in a variety competitive situations. Enjoyed the research - thanks for posing the question!
