Okay, it's been 11 calendar months since my last leave period. I was on Rear-end, then got shoved on Gate Guard for 7 months, came back and went straight to Gunnery, now am in Master Drivers Course. I need leave, my morale is drifting and I feel like I'm getting screwed. I told my PSG I would help her for Gunnery and after that I would go on leave. Now she says "Higher came down and told everyone, they can't take leave until they have use or lose days." I have 55 Day's of leave saved up not by my fault. Am I getting screwed around?

From what I know. You can not be denied leave unless its because of duty, or there are others that have put in for the same time as you. You will have to take it higher than your PSG to straighten it out. And if from what you said it came from higher up, they have to justify it as to why. From what your PSG said the use or lose is not a justification.

Units cannot afford to wait until everyone has use/lose days because no more than 10% of the company should be gone a time. I would consult JAG and IG.

I would also ask for the written leave policy.
