What is the maximum amount of PCS leave that I should be requesting for CONUS to CONUS (I have 70 days in balance)?

I was planning to take oconus leave previously but they are short of my mos and I would like to minimize the shortages so i was planning to combine the oconus leave into the pcs leave; so i would need more but i was wondering how much i can get? people say anything more than 30 will be difficult because my bct commander is o5 and he would not be able to sign it.

I only used 30. Put a nice dent in your balance so you're not walking the line of use or lose, gives you a decent break, and it still leaves you with plenty just in case.

I was able to pull 90 during PCSing from Drum to Benning. It did take my Bn Commander to sign off on it though.
