L90OOK:
The Navy have block leave, Xmas, Easter & summer.  However, you could take leave outside these times, subject to line managers approval, but you would have to remain as one of the skeleton crew whilst the rest of the base/ship were on block leave periods.

Skibum346:
Some postings involve specified "R&R" periods... for instance... in the 80's (if you don't remember them... your a sprog!) 6 months in Belize earned you 2 weeks R&R while there that didn't come off your annual allowance.

I went to visit family & hitch hike in New England... two blokes hired the PRI 110 and drove to Acapulco! Over a thousand miles one way! Impressed!  :lol:

DaveS:
I lecture at an RAF training school ( I am an ex RAF techie) We have block leave at xmas, bank holidays are as normal (except for the military bods on duty).

We used to have block leave for xmas, easter and summer .

Courses are now allocated their summer leave between June-Sept which allows for better utilisation of the resources.

Us civvies just negotiate our leave with management as do the RAF permanant staff.

Much better system as I try not to take summer holidays when the kids are off!!! Cheaper and quieter! :D
