Last thing, what happens if my July bid has me on reserve for the first five days of the month? I should still be on vacation since I would be already be credited those days from my previous month's carryover, right?
Sorry, I realize I am complicating this thing, but just want to get the right bid to maximize some time off....
If your Jul bid has you on reserve the first 5 days of the month, ( the same 5 days as your jun carryover) the jul days are dropped Carry in conflict -eligible for make up- and the jun c/o over days are dropped for vaca.
As far as your vacation buffer goes, r days in conflict with the buffer are not dropped but moved to some other time in the month. The most you can out right drop for vacation is the 7 days plus the 3 days of expansion for 10 r days total.
To maximize time off is to bid a trip line that conflicts directly with vaca if you can.
