Stagger those through 4 layers. Make sure to check include standups.

The PBS helpline people walked me through the procedure and it worked to perfection. oh and at the time I was only 3 months off IOE. I got 9 days off in a row. Gave away one standup which then gave me 12 days off. The only downside was I worked like 10 days in row at the end of the month.
Well I guess I'm wrong! Thanks for that tip. Did you get the group of days you wanted off too?

Just transfer to a new base every month. You'll get 4 days off in a row, guaranteed

Considering how useless vacation is here, that's actually not a bad idea....

Lol what? I got 3 weeks off in a row this summer, on the days that I wanted, and have enough vacation time saved up to get paid decently.

We get 12 days a year..... (Roughly) so you've been saving a while.

That's it? Well I haven't even been here two years, so I couldn't use vacation my first year and I saved up all my vacation from year two. I worked my butt off to save vacation. I was awarded two weeks of vacation and then I saw a third week was available adjacent to my original vacation so I bid it and got it.

I averaged95 hours of credit in 2016. 3 hours a month of vacation, that's about what we accrue. So 2 years of 3 a month is about 72 hours. We'll call 3 hours per day of vacation that's 24 days. Hence why you were able to do that. But your bank is nearly depleted after it.
