Sounds about right!! Not sure either about the RA day, just glad it worked out 
It was actually the RA day after the vacation that was moved to later in the month, the one on the 30th was coded as a vacation day after the window closed.

The Verbiage in Reconstruction is R day Blocks, plural, they are only going to have a Single R day if they are required to do so.
For Example, if you had a larger Vacation period and the Extension+Vacation days added up to 18...then you'd wind up with a Single R day.
Otherwise, they could only use you on an O&B trip or pay the Overage if they launched you.
One mistake people occasionally make in a Reserve Vacation month is being sick for the 3 or 4 days they have left with the expectation that they'll only be charged SL if assigned a trip...but, it's one of those things that if your Sick for Every R day you Could be launched on they charge you for the whole block

Good point,
I tend to think more of RB or even RSV during a Vacation month, but there's certainly the potential for a trip to fit into the RA window.
Just pretty unlikely, IMO.
Barring First fly, tend to be pretty far down the leveling list so my expectation is a late morning DH assignment-still certainly has the possibility of fitting into an RA block, but more likely a next morning return
Bottom Line is CRS will NOT build a Single R day block, unless that's their only option
