Having worked for DoD for 30 years, the only thing surprising about this is how high up it goes. When any position of leadership is on leave, an acting is named. If that named acting also had leave scheduled, they are not forced to cancel it. The onus is on the higher to name an available acting. In an emergency this would maybe be difficult, so there is chain of command at that high a level. My thought is that his time card indicated 'work from home' so that he didnt have to take leave for a minor procedure. Time card cheating. The acting may have put 'work from home' on the time card as well. It happens all the time, and is cause for dismissal in the regular ranks.
