You aren’t eligible for a GS on a PD day. But you are eligible for a GS on a PB day.

To add a bit to Gspeed's answer. You cannot GS over a RESERVE PD day. You can GS over a regular line PD.

Don’t know why that would be good but it is possible. Perhaps that would give you payback days straight in the bank, which would be good, but it risks getting paid nothing.

I think this. I dropped Mil leave this month for like 6 days. My reserve guarantee went down, but when I picked up GS it’s the exact same formula. Just added to my pro rated reserve guarantee which was less.

Welp. With a few minutes left in the New Year, it looks like I won't get to GS#10. I had 9 plus 1IA, so i guess it still counts...sort of.
I coulda had #10 but passed up the "opportunity" to be in a hotel tonight.
Happy New Years!

Really? That would ruin a high credit trip if all that time goes towards reserve guarantee and not above.

Question: I have 4 PB days and want to drop a 3 day trip on January. Can use only 2 PB days (saving the other 2 for the future) or must i burn 3 PB to cover the whole trip?

Well....that depends. A recent clarification seems to say that all of your PB days will be used. In the past, after the new year, you've been able to drop with just one day. Try picking up high time 1 days and dropping them to maximize pay.

the agreed upon and approved policy is that it will use all pb days you have to cover the footprint of the trip.
