Then you got screwed, or I got lucky.
Edit. I went back, and you are correct. I was hired in the last few months of the year, and I had one vacation to bid immediately upon completion of training. Then, the next year (after I was on property for 14 months), I got 2 weeks vacation. I remembered incorrectly. I apologize. I did not mean to mislead.
So, to state it again, if you are hired in December 2016, you will be able to bid for a vacation in 2017 as soon as you finish training. Then, less than one year later after you finish training, you will get 2 weeks vacation in 2018.
If you are hired before December 31st of this year, then next October you will be able to bid 2 weeks vacation for the following year.
