orders the unit requires in effect to perform this in flight

flight order authorization requests by memorandum to Commandant
(G-PMP-2). Examples of these requests are included in enclosure

status may be suspended for one or more of the reasons listed in
paragraph 5.b.(1)(c) above. The suspension and removal of suspension

suitable memorandum for the record is made and is later followed by
