March 24, 20169 yr Doing a little research. Can you guys give me examples of what your WG/CC has defined as the "local area" for leave purposes? If you could point me to where I can download your wing supp to AFI36-3003 or the written policy letter that would be even mo betta. Thanks all.
March 24, 20169 yr Fighter squadron commander in USAFE defined it as 6.5 hrs drive or if you were taking a train more than 3 hrs (ability for a buddy to come pick you up and make it back due to the frequent train strikes) or flying anywhere. But that was prior to the new leave reg edition.
March 24, 20169 yr Also in USAFE; 5 hr drive / 3 hr train. At Maxwell, it was undefined, with the caveat during holidays of "If you aren't sleeping in your own bed, you must be on leave." Sorry, single guys. Sent from my SM-G900V using Baseops Network Forums mobile app
March 24, 20169 yr I miss the old days...it was "anywhere CONUS as long as you're willing to pay for the transportation back to be home within 12 hours of the call so you can have 12 hours of crew rest."
March 24, 20169 yr I believe it's 6 hours driving at McChord, anytime you fly or go to Canada, and then during Nov-Mar you can't be through the passes in case they close due to WX.
March 24, 20169 yr Author Thanks for the info everyone. I've looked on AF portal for a link to the supps but couldn't find any. Anyone have a link to where I can get these policies in writing?
March 24, 20169 yr Flaco, "in writing" could just be a given SQ/CC's policy letter. Doubt you'll find that online. Why do you need it "in writing"?
March 25, 20169 yr Leave and pass is a commander's program. They can set distances and restrictions as they see fit. I remember at Keesler it was east or west to the state line and north as far as Hattiesburg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

March 25, 20169 yr I think it's if you can get back in 12 hours for the RPA Squadrons at Holloman. We were told at some point Vegas is local area for the guys traveling back to see family on weekends or house hunt. Can't site pub though. Never read it or care to. Last AETC base was a couple hour drive. (6 is ringing a bell)

Sometimes this applies, more often times this doesn't (don't forget, not all squadrons involve planes/ops type people).

March 25, 20169 yr Reg says you have to start and end leave in the local area. Doesn't say you have to take leave if you aren't in the area you live/commute to work from. The pass section specifically prohibits mileage limits being set by CCs.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The "local area" discussion applies only to normal and special passes. That quote is where you can start and end leave from. If you exceed the limits a commander sets on a pass, you must be one leave or you are AWOL.

As the AFI reads now you are automatically on a "normal pass" on weekends/holidays/non-duty days (not to exceed 3 days at a time or 4 for a four-day holiday weekend, IIRC).

March 25, 20169 yr Correct. And your commander can set boundaries for a normal pass (e.g. weekends when you work M-F) per verification with JAG; however, those boundaries may not be mileage based.

March 25, 20169 yr Author OK, I think I'm getting it. Commander says local area is 4 hours drive time. Member 1 takes family on short weekend trip 3 hours from home. Leaves on a Friday evening after work, returns on Sunday evening. No leave required. Member 2 leaves on a Saturday for a destination 3 hours from home. Returns on Tuesday evening. Leave required Saturday - Tuesday. Member 3 leaves on Saturday morning and drives 7 hours to destination. Returns Sunday evening. Leave required Saturday-Sunday because outside local area. Do I have this right?
March 25, 20169 yr Yeah that's right, except member 3 would only be charged 1 day of leave since they returned on a non-duty day. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
