The Sea family has recently received a wonderful surprise gift...due to a class cancellation, He of the Sea has the opportunity to take 30 days leave before reporting to his next class. Given the chaotic state of our PCS last week, and the shocking number of repairs that our house requires, this is a true blessing. What cracks me up is his worry that he is going to be under 60 days of leave come September. Maybe I'm imagining this, but is seems like losing leave at the end of the year is expected amongst my friends, and actually taking all your leave is some special sort of crazy. What's up with that?
Honey, It Is OK Not To Lose Leave
