What happens when you lie and intentionally circumvent rules and procedures meant to keep you safe?
If you're lucky, UCMJ. If you're unlucky, you'll find yourself afoul of the law or in an international incident while your Commanders explain to your Division General why you're in a Tijuana prison as the US Ambassador is trying to get you released.

Unauthorized leave OVERSEAS etc...
That's almost a cousin to AWOL, or Desertion.
He had to go.
PS: I'll NEVER make light of an Overseas Security Briefing, & I'm the guy who doses off at almost all briefings, evening with The bird Colonel in front of my face.

You don't have "CONUS leave" approved...That's not a thing.
You have LEAVE approved. You're not restricted to the address on your form. You're on leave. So long as you don't go to a prohibited country, you can circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon if you'd like and that's perfectly fine.
We aren't limited to the address on the form. Just make sure your number is good and your contactable.

The Foreign Clearance Guide will tell you exactly what you need to do before you enter a country while you are on active duty. This goes for TDY/PCS or Leave.

SFC Michael Hasbun S2 will ALSO advise you, above & beyond, of higher risk ie crime, culture, hostility,.. countries. In 98 they told me (for example) of high crime rated / tourist robberies in Bulgaria.

Why wouldn't you just request to go to the actual location you want to go to for leave?
It's not that much more extra work.
