Default Vacation Slide

Is it a safe assumption that if you are senior enough to avoid being unstacked, or whatever it is called these days, that any legal vacation slide will be awarded?

Thanks Scoop

That's a tough one. I'd say your chances are good but I think there can still be capped reserve days that might prevent it.

Yes, provided you can be built a legal schedule with the vacation as slid.

You divide the guarantee by the number of days in the bid period and multiply by the number of days you're NOT on vacation, CQ training, etc. Then add back the value of the absence.

80 / 30 * 16 = 44:16
Vacation = 14 * 3:15 = 45:30
Total pay = 89:46

And don't forget that you can use your bank to "fill up" also. If you are a young/junior guy, you really should fill your bank as soon as possible. Especially if you are a newhire or if you are going to upgrade anytime within the next year, or go to a higher paying seat. There is nowhere you can invest today, with the certainty of this technique and get the kind of return you will get, because remember that you take the time out of your bank at your current rate, not the rate at which you put it in....

You can also go negative if needed. Making sure you get full double pay on a GS is a excellent reason to use negative bank.
