Airmen can carry over more leave Published July 15, 2003 RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- Some active-duty airmen will be allowed to accumulate more than 60 days of annual leave after the fiscal year ends, according to Air Force Personnel Center officials here. The airmen must have been unable to take leave because they were supporting contingency operations.Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve airmen who performed full-time training or other full-time duty for more than 29 days are also eligible for this special leave accrual. Those affected can retain up to 90 days of leave until the end of fiscal 2004, according to personnel officials. "This program is meant to enable people to take (the) leave they've earned," said Master Sgt. Don Taylor, the customer support operations superintendent at the center. "In order for the program to work as planned, though, those affected need to take not only the leave they are carrying over now, but also the leave they will earn during the next fiscal year, or they may lose leave next year."Those who meet the criteria for having excess leave should apply for special leave accrual through command channels.
