Anyone who thinks people don’t abuse mil leave around the holidays are either completely naive or just delusional.

They company actually does make “us” submit proof during random audits that just about every one of us actual service members has had to comply with.
You continue to speak on a topic you literally know nothing about. Time to worry about yourself and not so much about what others are doing.

If the benefits of the Military Reserve are so great, why didn’t you join? Seriously, if the ability of position yourself to Mil Drop a Christmas trip is so great, why didn’t you join?
Yes, I’ve met some people who tried to join, but had a medical issue that is within standards for a 1st Class, but not a military flight physical... Generally, those are the people that understand what it is about, and not the keyboard commandos saving screenshots of other peoples schedules.
For everyday of Mil Leave I’ve dropped, I have a corresponding LES to match it. The company does do random audits, and some not so random audits...and I have been audited...and I turned in the paperwork to pass the audit. Dropping Mil Leave & not performing Mil Leave sounds like a great way to get fired from both jobs.
In a couple years, once I retire, someone junior to me might have 1 month where he has what appears to be a better schedule than me because of MLLV. I won’t waste one brain cell on whether or not it is fair, because:
1. I’m no longer on the hook for a year long Mobilization to Djibuti for a deployed staff tour
2. I’m no longer Mil Dropping 60 days/year at a 50% paycut
3. I show up to an Air Conditioned jetway, in an an Air Conditioned plane, and have a contract that requires them to feed me a desert with the crew meal.

Most reservists do the right thing but the simple fact remains that there are military reservists who abuse mil leave (Especially during first couple of years with an airline) and unfortunately it’s those individuals who make a bad name for all of US. So when you say “ worry about yourself and not so much about what others are doing,” when someone else’s actions reflect poorly on a group I am associated with, it is my business.

The Mil shield that protects one from scrutiny. Like the racist card. Not allowed to question anyone anymore. Unless your storming the beach of Normandy. You all have a pretty good deal. It's a all volunteer force. No lectures from your crowd please. We all know the deal. Wink wink.
Before you throw down the , you could have joined card. The military is not for everyone.
Please stop with that BS line.
