I like the European idea.. if there are no current holidays in the month, they declare a 'bank holiday'. We'd just have to expand on it to make it a 4 day. Wouldn't call it a 'bank holiday' though.. how about sanity preservation weekend.Response by MSG Wade Huffman made May 28 at 2014 9:16 AM2014-05-28T09:16:14-04:002014-05-28T09:16:14-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member136645<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would name my four day...<br /><br />No pass or leave directly before or after me, because getting a phone call to let me know you are alive is no longer acceptable proof of life and 5 days is too long for a grown ass adult to go with no contact from their baby sitter weekend!Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made May 28 at 2014 9:36 AM2014-05-28T09:36:57-04:002014-05-28T09:36:57-04:00SFC Michael Hasbun136679<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson appreciation weekend!Response by SFC Michael Hasbun made May 28 at 2014 10:23 AM2014-05-28T10:23:02-04:002014-05-28T10:23:02-04:00SSG Kevin McCulley136707<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>DONSA!
