The following excerpt is from Camassar v. U.S., 531 F.2d 1149 (2nd Cir. 1976):
2 Military or naval personnel continue in active duty status even when they are on liberty or on leave which are attributes of active duty, and they remain subject to ultimate military control. If, therefore, a petty officer is injured on a naval base or installation, while on liberty or leave, the general rule would still apply. Mills v. Tucker, 499 F.2d 866, 868 (9 Cir. 1974).
