I called the CPO before hand for both of my shots and they just put NFLY on my schedule.

Also, what happens if you have a large footprint training event that gets interrupted by the timing of the second shot? Does it get cancelled up front, or do they have enough flexibility to reconfigure it? Do you even get the first shot if you know the second will interrupt training?

In my state, transportation workers are just being allowed to sign up. It's still tough to get an appointment, and you don't get a choice of which vaccine you get.

So if my first leg changes to a DH on my way to airport, is that a re route prior to first airborne leg?

My shot is next week and it will take out the first 2 days of a four day. Any ideas if they drop all 4 with pay or is it only for the 2?

Yes however the contract allows this if the DH is to pick up the remainder of the rotation.

Here’s a brain teaser. I’m on reserve Monday-Friday next week, but have my Covid shot Monday. So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday are NFLY days. If I pick up a green slip this weekend, are my PB days put on starting Monday or Thursday?

Same thing happens when a RES guy flies a lot an attains FULL status. When they fly a GS on an X day, the PB day gets placed on the next day that wasn't an X day, even though they show FULL on that day.
