Frats,
I have spent the long part of my short career on reserve. I was astonished to learn that a week of vacation only gave me 4 additional days off. When I was able to hold a line, the four additional days did allow me to get additional days off on either side of my vacation time off. but a Sunday to Saturday off wasn't nearly enough time to get away. a week of vacation should mean a week off of the job.
