What do they want? Your LES? I'd be inclined to give them any reasonable documentation they wanted as long as it didn't start to become onerous. Easier for me to email my LES than arrange a letter from the unit anyway. That's just throwing them a bone, maybe some manager didn't read all the rules...but if they keep pushing then it's just harassment, I'd dig in my heels and fall back on the letter of the law: Less than 30 days? Call my CO, hope he calls you back. I'm going on mil leave. Don't like it? Fire me. I'll enjoy a few months off until ESGR gets me re-instated with back pay.
