GET MORE LEAVE: With a high operation tempo and frequent deployments,
many servicemembers are finding it difficult to use all their leave in an allotted year. Currently, servicemembers
may carry over a maximum of 60 days of leave. But from Oct. 1, 2008, through Dec. 31, 2010, that limit will in-
crease so servicemembers may carry over up to 75 days of leave. Some exceptions apply. Learn more at www
.dfas.mil/mil-news/mar2008/leave.html.
