Airmen and guardians will be able to keep up to 120 days of leave through 2024, more than double the usual amount allowed to be accrued, an Air Force administrative memo said.
Unused leave exceeding 60 days is normally lost at the end of each fiscal year, but coronavirus-related restrictions since last year have made it difficult for service members and others to take vacations.
“Rest and recuperation are vital to morale, unit and professional performance, and overall motivation for Airmen and Guardians,” acting Air Force Secretary John Roth said in a July 21 memo.
A Defense Department special leave accrual policy had already allowed airmen to retain up to 120 days of leave through September 2023. The memo further extends leave accrued by the end of September of this year through Sept. 30, 2024.
The policy change applies to Air Force and Space Force members on active duty, and Reserve and Guard airmen on Title 10 or Title 32 orders.

Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for making us aware that USAF airmen and air national guard soldiers will be able to carry and keep up to 120 days of leave through 2024.
