Thanks in advance. I'm not in a class yet but am contemplating options as these classes are offered.
I'll chime in on this. Yes you get to keep your cal ID card and fully authorized in CASS, there is a time limit, I think 2 years.
Remember that MIL LOA is NOT a request, it is a notification. You are to give advance notice, if possible. I will argue till I'm blue in the face that I must be fit to fly at both jobs and therefore my MIL LOA will be adjusted accordingly. If you are out less than 30 days, you are not penalized for sick or vacation time. Anything longer and you may not accrue either.
