ALCGPSC 102/18
SUBJ: LEAVE BALANCE GUIDANCE FOR END OF FISCAL YEAR 2018 
A.  Military Assignments and Authorized Absences, COMDTINST M1000.8 
(series)
B.  U.S. Code, Title 10, Section 701 
C.  ALCOAST ACN 073/18 SPECIAL LEAVE ACCRUAL (SLA) FOR CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS 
DURING FY2017
1.  To avoid leave balance issues at the end of the fiscal year, 
commands and supervisors are directed to review and approve or 
disapprove all pending Direct Access (DA) absence requests by COB 
17SEP18, requests submitted after this date must be approved or denied 
immediately. Military members should check their DA account to ensure 
all pending requests have been cleared prior to the deadline. 
2.  Military members are only authorized to carry over a maximum of 
75 days of leave into the next fiscal year per references (a) thru (c). All 
pending absence requests (leave), to be completed prior to 
the end of the fiscal year, will be auto-approved on 18SEP18.  With 
more than 1,700 pending absence requests in DA, this effort will 
significantly reduce leave balance errors and minimize the impact on 
members from both losing leave (leave adjusted to 75 days) and also 
being charged in FY19 for leave taken in FY18.

requests can be found on PPC’s website at:
