You're grossly misinterpreting the vacation language. On the 7/7, you have 26 weeks off, and 26 weeks on. A vacation week removes one of the "on" weeks; it does not at all affect the remaining "off" weeks that you would already have. It merely takes away the 7-day work week between them. Yes, you end up with 21 contiguous days off, but 14 of those are days you
already had off. (And if you're on one of the CC schedules, you may end up with only 15 contiguous days off, but the number of workdays removed from the schedule is still 7.)
So 26 work weeks, minus
two weeks of vacation, is 24 work weeks.
