Any rank officer can approve any other officer’s leave as long as they are the supervisor or above. Reg? Also if true, you assume the kid at the FSO knows that (they don't).

If it were in the programming, it wouldn't even be an option. Leaveweb never updated my promotion to Major (actually I never bothered to fix it is the correct answer)....I've been approving leave for Major's as a Captain (according to Leaveweb) for over a year. Not a single one rejected. This just sounds like an airman with a chip on his shoulder. But like previously said...looks like you got a day off from your leadership without it actually counting against you. Could be worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThreeHoler 441 Report post Posted March 29 He said any officer can approve any other officer. You’re partially proving his case. Yes. If you read the LeaveWeb manual you will find out that enlisted leave approvals and officer leave approvals are programmed differently even though both groups are treated the same in AFI 36-3003.We used to find the lowest ranking officer (usually a 1Lt but sometimes we could find a casual 2Lt) and have them approve the old crusty Lt Cox’s leave for shits and giggles.

Guardian 117 Report post Posted March 29 Seriously. Are we really talking about who’s leave reg and leave web knowledge penis is larger? Who cares. Hit approve and if it doesn’t let you go under verbal and make mpf fix it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majestik Møøse 338 Report post Posted April 11 They’ll conclude that it’s because of old planes so they can justify an increased budget. Then they’ll give it all to contractors large and small while continuing to refuse to pay you even what Congress has already authorized. I don’t even think they’re getting kickbacks or post-retirement consultant jobs. They’re just myopic bureaucrats set in their ways, which is even harder to budge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hacker 829 Report post Posted April 11 The 2nd and 3rd order effects of cancerous leadership philosophies and a lack of mission focus sometimes take time to manifest themselves...especially when many of the problems were being masked by commanders (and line bros) who are conditioned/socialized to never say "no" or "can't". I always giggle about the "fields of friendly strife" quote from MacArthur that the AF loves to use, and how the Air Force conveniently forgets its corollaries about what fruits are later borne by mediocrity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyFlightSuit 52 Report post Posted Monday at 12:29 AM (edited) I consider myself fairly irreverent but a small part of me got triggered by that.
