So I've posted before that we're going to GA. My transfer date is Jan 14. I'm trying to take 2 weeks of leave for Thanksgiving, check out of housing and become homeless on the 8th of December and take 29 of my 61 days of leave DURING STANDDOWN to go down there and get a house, register the kids in school, have Christmas, and get the wife and kids in school before I fly back up here for 3 days to transfer and fly back down there. My chain of command is flipping out that I will effectively be taking 2 months off. Never mind that I will only be missing 19 days of work!!!!! WTF! I guess that's what I get for busting my ass for 3 years to make things better at subscol.

Alright, I'm calmer now. Really, I like the Navy, but the knee jerk reaction to a guy wanting to take his earned leave to move as part of a transfer is kind of BS (even if it does give me 2 months off  ;D)

Typical.  If you were a dirt bag, then they wouldn't care.

That sucks dude...At least you dont have to buy a brand new uniform, one that you will never wear to work, or even wear again after you wear it for an inspection, because that uniform is being phased out by the Navy >:( >:( >:(...all because of one wonderful master chief :D

i just wanna break some stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!

What about house hunting leave?  I bet if you mention you want to take some house hunting leave they will forget all about you trying to use the leave you earned.  Who is busting your balls about taking leave?  Only the CO can deny leave, everyone else is just a recomendation, and if they check not recomended, they have to put a reason why they can not support.

Mike,
 Do your orders say you are authorized 30 days of leave? If so, they can't say a word about it. You are entitled by your orders. Additionally, you get travel and proceed in ADDITION to your authorized leave. House Hunting is generally separate from your transfer, usually a few weeks or more before you actually transfer. I would suggest the same as Kirk, ask for house hunting leave. Besides, its free leave! And now you can carry 75 days over the fiscal year vice the previous amount of 60. Just my $.02
