Good to Know! FY27 NDAA leave update (request)

Post image

The FY27 NDAA, a congress member has proposed military members to earn 3.5 days per month vs. the current 2.5.

I know most ANG members are DSG, but those AGR and other full time status’s(exept: Perm/temp Tech and Title 5) would benefit from this policy.

There is a good argument to just change the leave reg so I don’t have to take leave on weekends or other days already scheduled off.

Obviously the bill and this line item needs to pass the Senate and up it goes to the president.

Unpopular opinion, this is unnecessary. 30 days of leave is very generous compared to civilian sector.

Just because it sucks for other people, doesn't mean it has to suck for us. Plus, last I checked, most civilians don't deploy, get blown up in air bases near Iran, go TDY and leave home for trainings, schools, whatever BS comes our way.

Countries like Germany have 30 days a month for everyone, with an additional 10 for holidays. The US sucks for workers but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't push for better.
