Three Cheers for Navy Leave Policy

Although it seems like I complain a great deal about the Navy on the blog, there is a great deal that I like about it. One of those things is that when we are home, we get pretty good time off at the holidays. We earn 30 days of paid vacation each year and every command that I have been at has always worked hard to have everyone get 10 days off each, which is pretty darn awesome. We are so thankful to have this time off to spend with our family. We left on Friday and don't have to be back until the Monday after Christmas. After talking to many of our friends while visiting the hubs parents, this is not nearly the case for everyone. So, I am giving big ups to the Navy for getting this one right.
