1. Where do I input my Golden Days?
2 Can I do a GS on a non Golden Day and do I still get payback days?
3. I live in base so I do not care about SC or not but do we bid for SC during the days we are on and if so how?
4. Anything else you can tell me to make this "opportunity" better?
Thanks
Golden days have already been awarded for December. You should see the asterisks "*" on your schedule. For next time -- its under "Bids" - "Initial Bid" - "PBS Reserve Golden Days".
You can put in a Green Slip for any days you want. Put one in for Dec01-31 if that's what you want. The trip is only a "Green Slip" if it touches an X or * day. The only payback days are the X or * days. ie => you could get a 4 day green slip that only touches 1 X day. You only get green pay for that day and you only get the 1 payback day. Bid what you want and want what you bid.
You don't really "bid for short call". They just assign it. You can put in a request to be placed on short call. The template is on the same page as green slips and white slips, etc. "PCS" - "Slip Requests" - "Enter Dates to be First on Shortcall".
