The reserve proration table in the PBS appendix...

Let's say you wanted to take 4 days of mil leave in a 30 day month, and you wanted to do it by dropping reserve duty periods rather than on your off days. You will loose 1/18th of your gaurentee per day you drop, which is fine. But, if you look at the proration table, you will only be available to the company for 26 days, so you'll only get 10 days off now.

Used to be you'd lose 1/18th your gaurentee per day of mil drop and get your full 12 days off. In that case you'd work 14 days take 4 mil leave (unpaid) and get 12 days off. With the new table (new to LUS at least) you will work 16 days take 4 mil leave (unpaid) and get 10 days off because you are only available 26 days.


The work around is to only use mil leave on days off, and have scheduling move your days off (this is what I do now) but it'd be nice not to have to do that.

I could be wrong about this, but I did lose 4 hours of pay last July for this very thing.
