  if an nsf has to live on his own due to family problems, but is in a stay in camp. would he be allowed to apply for stay out and to get a part time job to sustain himself?
  
  considering that this guy has a rather clean record, doesn't make any trouble and does his work diligently.
  
  anyone with similar experiences care to share?

  hm.. this is a very unusual circumstance.
  
  there are various reasons for staying in, especially if one is undergoing training. if the person is deemed to need to stay out, chances are he will be put on a different vocation - one that does not require staying in at all, e.g. storeman, clerk, etc.
  
  that is my logic. not sure if it really applies.

  in that case, it would be worthwhile bringing up your case with your PC, and eventually your OC. you may need to demonstrate to them that there really is no other avenue, and you did not end up in your present situation voluntarily.
  
  however you have to bear in mind that since its a stated policy that non-married personnel should stay in for your vocation. at the same time, a serviceman is actually not allowed to moonlight. hence you may not get what you hope for. in that case you may wish to ask for SAF's financial assistance.
