Once you keng..... you are irresponsible.
If you want to fall out, at least fall out honourably. The
American GIs in the Ardennes in WWII had a term for this: 'The
Million-Dollar Wound'. That's a combat wound enough to get them
permanently pulled off the line but yet not be too disabling.
If you fall out, other people have to pick up the slack and do
your work for you. Before you fall out, at least make sure that you
have a damn good reason for doing so, because other people are
going to be burdened with your load.
So is malingering responsible behaviour? Don't sound like it to
me.
depends on what manner you geng. if you geng in things that will
not burden others, then it's not irresponsible. I'll just highlight
one relevant one on staying out.
If the person kengs to stay out, but truth is there is nothing
to be done at nights in camp anyway. The personnel are just made to
stay in. He rests himself well and reports back on time. faking
excuses to stay out may be malingering, but irresponsible? I
doubt.
