Good CommentsGood Comments

Preferences: 1) Block 1: Leave / Maid of Honor sister’s wedding / 18-19Jun / San Diego2) Block 3: Aviation Cruise / F-18F preferred / if not available then F-18G3) Block 2: YP – LANTPAT

I did not complete a 3/C cruise. Request a West Coast surface cruise or a CG/DDG assignment anywhere.

Highest priority is Block 1 leave for sister’s wedding 18-19Jun in San Diego

Poor CommentsPoor Comments I will be participating in a computer science internship near my

parents’ house from 30 May – 20 June. All internships must be USNA approved

I have already paid for a beach vacation from 22 June – 08 July. Training will consider leave requests, but paying for a trip without

approved leave is not recommended Always buy refundable tickets, rooms, etc.

Because I have leave planned for Hawaii during Block 2, I must do a DDG cruise out of Hawaii during Block 3. Be realistic and flexible.
