You can also bid a new category even if you have a freeze.

To move an X day, you start with the reserve level screen in Open time for the new month. You can ask for a move without this step but it won't be approved until reserve coverage is in the Blue.

Go to PCS, select leave request (for the appropriate month) and then select "Move reserve off days". Then select the link at the bottom for "Add/Update Leave request".

On this screen you get to tell the computer when to stop processing your request. In the body of the form are priorities 1-4 down the left and to the right of each are a bunch of empty blocks. To move the hypothetical X day from the 7th to the 20th would be 7 7 20 20 in the blocks.

Here's the problem though with this hypothetical - you can't move an X day to a spot by itself (even if it was a loner to begin with) you have to append it to another block. There's another problem with the new system. Seems we can create 9 day blocks in PBS (domestic) but we can't create new ones in PCS. You have to expand ones already there.

Last note, if the reserve coverage isn't good enough to move the days, leave the request in, you never know when it'll be good enough!

Good luck

Got it. Thanks. Why must we put the days in twice?
