Gents, all.
I am currently in a sandy place for a possible 9 month tour and have been informed by my unit that any leave I take post op will be deducted from the days that I carried over from last year.....that were caused by being OOA. Any other PODL that I am entitled to (over the 15 days I carried over) will be classed as PODL and not cost me annual leave. I do not have JPA or any form of admin support to dig into this and do not have access to the new leave policy document.
Is this a policy that has been slipped in through the back door to ensure the leave statistics improve, as numbers taking their full leave entitlement are quite low, or is it something that is complete Bo Lox and a local initiative to ensure my stations stats improve. If it is a step change in policy it is a good kick in the schwangers for everyone OOA who carried over leave.
