Preferences: 1) Block 1: Leave / Maid of Honor sister’s wedding / 18-19Jun / San Diego
2) Block 3: Aviation Cruise / F-18F preferred / if not available then F-18G
3) Block 2: YP – LANTPAT
I did not complete a 3/C cruise. Request a West Coast surface cruise or a CG/DDG assignment anywhere.
Highest priority is Block 1 leave for sister’s wedding 18-19Jun 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 not recommended Always buy refundable tickets, rooms, etc.
Because I have leave planned for Hawaii during Block 2, I must do a DDG cruise out of Hawaii during Block 3. Be realistic and flexible.
