The reason I ask is at my unit long range planning is only two weeks and most flight schedules are built only 7-10 days out so it would be difficult to fully identify what days I need off the month before so it could be part of a BPS bid.
thanks
You are required to give them as much notice as you CAN. I.E. 7-10 days out sounds like as much as you can. If you give it to them early they will drop your days off down. You can pick days later and recoup the pay. This is for a guy on reserve. If you are a line holder, they will build a schedule around your mil leave.
