Clear and concise comments Fleet Cruises: block/platform/location PTEs: block/event/location Compelling leave requests: dates/reason/location NAAA: you can give us a heads up, but we’ll receive actual

blockers from NAAA MSS: same, but we’ll receive actual assignments from

Academics VSS: let us know if you want to do this

Manage your expectations

Good CommentsGood Comments

My preferences are as follows: 1) Block 3: Leave

2) Block 2: Sub Cruise

3) Block 1: YP – LANTPAT

I would like a West Coast surface cruise. If not that, a CG/DDG assignment at least.

My highest priority is for Block 1 leave for my sister’s wedding on 18Jun in San Diego

Poor CommentsPoor Comments

I will be participating in a computer science internship near my parents’ house from 30 May – 20 June. All internships must be USNA approved

I have already paid for a beach vacation from 22 June – 08 July. Training will consider leave requests, but paying for a trip without

approved leave is done at your own risk Always buy refundable tickets, rooms, etc.

Because I have leave planned for San Diego during Block 2, I must do Block 3 Surface Cruise in San Diego. Be realistic and flexible
