I do not in any way think it’s very many people, too many smart people out there to know how bad this can screw them. And while the example someone put out there was doing drill on the 23rd just to drop a trip that went over Christmas they couldn’t hold off is completely scummy, but legal, and probably caused someone to have to go in over Christmas that may have been able to avoid it on reserve sitting at home, so whatever. Highly unlikely that far out that it got dropped that it ended up going as a GS.
I guess I kicked a hornets nest.
The CPO can absolutely call a mil members commander to verify service during the requested mil leave period. The military often has 24/7 365 manning requirements. They volunteered, the avail themselves to all sorts of unpleasantness, deployment and other things. In your opinion you don't like it. Sorry, but they have commitments and obligations. Again, CPOs can make a call.
you have no proof to offer here other than anecdotal postulations. If you do have proof of recent systemic abuse of MLOA, I'll eat my hat (assuming I can find it)
You are barking up the wrong tree here with this stuff.
