Uh oh, I am in deep doo doo.....any civil service workers here?

[feddoc]

I retired from the Navy in February. Pay is good. Picked up a GS 12 job...now take home is very good. And the job puts me back doing something productive.

My problem is that as far as I can read the rules, I will not be able to take my customary 15 days of vacation for elk season because I haven't been here long enough. Eight days is about the most I can take...not enough, because my wife doesn't fly.

Do I have any other options?....shoot, I will even take LWOP if I have too. Can I take sick days and leave at the same time?

Darn, I have missed only two hunting seasons since 1976. Once because my truck broke and once when I was in flight school.

My palms are already getting sweatty and my BP is up. HELLLLLPPPP.

Your wife has got to learn how to fly. It is a lot safer than driving. Find the statistics and convince her. I know, probably easier said than done.
