Yes and yes--there's a chart at the beginning of every bid package I always skip over (and it's probably in the contract) that shows how many X days you receive per number days of availability.
i believe rahc is correct regarding next month being a 30-day bid period.
I generally add mil leave after the bids come out...because my reserve schedule isn't terribly firm that far out, and waiting helps me manage those variables better. I can then bid x-days for mil leave if I choose (or not). I don't abuse mil leave, but I'm also not going to hose myself if I can legally/morally avoid it.
