Post-POP Leave and Travel Checks
· 10 min read
Post-POP leave questions sound simple until you try to book a real trip. Recruits hear "block leave", remember the 14-day annual leave entitlement, see friends planning flights, and then realise posting orders and unit calendars can change the answer.
The official facts are useful, but narrower than Reddit stories make them sound. NSFs have vacation leave, overseas travel needs unit approval, long overseas trips can trigger Exit Permit requirements, and leave approval still depends on service needs.
This guide is unofficial. Your unit instructions, OneNS records, commanders, Manpower Officer, and official CMPB or MINDEF guidance override anything here.
