POSTED NLT 08JAN20."
Yo, don't post the weeks avail the same day the bid closes! What's up with that?
Is that going to affect your bid? I plan to bid the weeks I want independent from how many are available.

Nope, won’t effect them at all. But it’s nice to have the SA to then share with the misses what my odds are of having that banging week next year in XYZ.

Feb. Conversion List is a big deal for vacation bidding; expect to see that first.

Default travel for training

So I've got an E period sim on the 10th, flying from the west coast. Do I need to travel on the 9th or is it permissible to arrive on the 10th, 4 hours or so before the sim? Couldn't find any guidance in the FOM, etc.

TIA

Don’t know the answer to your question but if you are going to CQ and have two E period sims, make sure you call the hotel and make sure they don’t cancel your room. I’m a west coast guy and do CQ with E period sims. It always says if you don’t check in the first day (travel day), your hotel reservation will be canceled.

Not sure about the legality of it all, but I know lots of guys do fly in the day of their E periods. I usually try to arrive late the day prior so I can be nice and rested. But I'm one of those people who hates being tired with a passion.

I think they could cancel your hotel. It sucks if that's the case but I think that's the threat.

Here's how it works:
You can arrive on the 10th, but it is up to you to contact the hotel and let them know you only want to use the hotel on the 10th and 11th, not the 9th.
That way they'll keep your reservation.

It's how I've always rolled and it works like a charm.

Res G/S question. If you are given a green slip, when do they remove the future reserve days from your schedule? Is when you are awarded the G/S, when you check in for the G/S or at completion of the rotation?

I may way to personal drop a couple reserve days, but only if I get a G/S. If I’m awarded a G/S then on the next PSC run, drop a couple days and have my payback days applied afterwards. Make sense?

Thx,
Humboldt

I've seen PB and PR days applied to my schedule coincident with when the GS itself is posted there. You aren't likely to see a delay allowing you to PD something before PBs are applied (in my experience).
