WTH? Why is Vacation in my Schedule?
Just took a look at my May schedule award and there is two weeks of vacation in there. Never bid any vacation at all since I can’t plan anything that far out, and was going to do the monthly vacation bid thing when the time was right.
What’s going on? Who do I call to get that taken out?

if you don’t bid you get assigned 2 weeks
you can’t have all 5 weeks vacation all floating and available for monthly bid

Also, when annual vacation bidding got going, the first thing you have to bid is how many weeks of vacation you intend to bid and how many weeks you want to carry forward into monthly bidding. Looks like you skipped that step as well. Also, monthly vacation bidding can be very hard to be successful at.
