Some time ago, I dropped long term, short notice mil leave and got a phone call from the CPO. It went like this:

"Hey, BBM, I saw you dropped long-term, short notice mil leave."

"Yeah, the timing sucked. Nobody knew when the money was going to pop, but I sent in the orders just as soon as I got them."

"No problem. I just wanted to give you my number and let you know that we've got your back if you need anything. See you when you return."

That's about the norm for my (occasional and brief) interactions with the CPO office in my base. Reading your horror stories, I'm just glad I am where I am.
