You will still have the same vacation days, but you will not have the same vacation pay because your bank will run empty before it can pay for all of the days.
Then you fill up your vacation month with the full service bank. If you had the time in that bank or intended to take it negative during the GS month, you would be in the same situation except no 5 hour limit. My point is... what's the dif? Hours is hours. You just need to be smart about which bank you use and when.
