I’m going to talk with HR as well to see if they see it this way as well. Getting some ducks in a row.

This.
Many HR depts are either grossly ignorant of the (complicated and nuanced) rules, or are willfully pushing boundaries and grey areas to intimidate and discourage participation.
Never ask HR. Get the right answer and then tell HR what you're doing.
Some companies try to force you to "request" mil leave and get "approval". You don't have to play that game, you can simply email scheduling (cc your CP) notifying them of what you're doing (with reasonable lead time). But play their game if on probation.
