Hello all, I’m soliciting advice on travel insurance and the possibility of USNA spring leave being locked up.
I’m looking to insure a trip for March 2021 through Travel Insured International, a USAA affiliate. Per the insurance policy, I am insured if the trip is cancelled due to “revocation of Your or Your Traveling Companion’s or Your Family Member’s previously granted military leave or re-assignment. Official written revocation/re-assignment by a supervisor or commanding officer of the appropriate branch of service will be required;”
The one question I can’t seem to find an answer for is what counts as “previously granted leave” as it applies to USNA? Leave is scheduled on the academic calendar. Is my leave only “previously granted” if it has been approved by my CO in MIDS? Should a scheduled leave block suffice?
I understand that this is a very narrow question that you all may have no advice for. I also appreciate any and all advice or experience that you have. I anticipate that a letter from my CO regarding leave being cancelled will suffice, but I really have no idea.
EDIT: To answer a few questions that I'm sure will pop up:
No, frankly it isn't possible to wait for more than a month to schedule this trip and place a deposit.
Yes, I have spoken to the insurance company and they were largely unhelpful. I plan on trying to push the issue up a supervisor this week.
Yes, I will speak to my CO after the conclusion of plebe summer.
