The expression "use or lose" means that leave in excess of 75 days is lost if not used by the end of the fiscal year, which is Sept. 30.

For those who are planning to take leave should remember that leave must begin and end in the local area. However, if you are unable to get back before your leave ends, you must inform your leave approving authority.

For Airmen who want more information about leave; can find more detailed descriptions of the different types of leave in AFPAM 36-2241 Section 16D - Leave Management.
