Currently I'm in a process of medboard.
I haven't seen my family for over 2 years and I want to go and visit them.
At first, I was told that I can use my leave to go home when I'm done with all the physical VA appointments and in a situation of just waiting for to hear back from the VA with percentage.
We all know this is months of process of me just waiting, so I understood that.
I also have finished my SFLTAP appointments as well.
But now. my company 1st sgt said that those who are on medboard process are not allowed to take leave at all....
So I got 41 days of leave, and 74 ets leave left yet I can't use it.
I was told that I could use it when I'm just sitting and waiting for my percentage, but now I can't even use my leave at all.
As soon as I hear back from the VA with my percentage, I'll start clearing and will be medically discharged right away.
So there is no point of ETS leave as well since I'm getting medically discharged right away after clearing when I hear my percentage back.
Since my 1st sgt is not approving any leaves during medboard process, does this mean that all my 41 days of leaves and 74 ets leaves are just gonna go to a waste now?

Leave requests need to be routed through your case manager to ensure you don't delay the process but there is not a prohibition on MEDBoard folks when it comes to leave. There are a few things to consider though. Even after you receive your adjusted ETS you could request an extension to push you to 6 or 12 months to give you more time if needed. Also understand your ETS leave dates won't reflect your reality because you will be getting a new ETS. Also, your new ETS will be generated with your existing leave days in consideration to allow for terminal leave. If you want to take leave sooner rather than later just talk to your PEBLO and case manager but you will also have terminal as well.

Please take note of what SFC (Join to see) said. That ETS Balance isn't just leave you get to take. It is the leave days you would have if you served your contract out to ETS. You can't take leave days you haven't earned or have the required obligation time to earn back. Your accrued leave is all you can take
