Some units (and jealous CCs) also hassle people about the permissive TDY.
Being hassled about 2 or 3 weeks of leave over a 20 year career is EXACTLY why people want to bail. CC's that don't have the big picture will/should fail. The few good CC's I have known will make it happen FOR YOU. Take care of your people first, metrics be damned.
