 Do you have more than 60 days of leave on the books? Have you checked your LES to assure you use or lose balance is correct? Sailors are reminded that beginning September 30th, service members will no longer be allowed to carry over 75 days of leave. As fiscal year 2015 comes to a close, any accrued leave more than 60 days will be lost. Don't let your leave go to waste. Remember the September advancement cycle is just around the corner. Take advantage of these extra leave days to study for your exam. There are exceptions. Service members who are assigned to hostile fire, imminent danger pay areas, or deployed for at least 60 continuous days may have the opportunity to keep extra leave time by applying for special leave accrued. Sailors are encouraged to work with their commands to manage their leave balances throughout the rest of the fiscal year. For more information on the new carryover leave policy, contact your local personnel support detachment or visit ah.mil.
