Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

This isn't just idle talk. Officers' annual leave time isn't longer than that of non-commissioned officers. According to regulations, unmarried officers have two types of regular leave each year: annual leave and family visit leave.

For those who have served for less than 1 years and whose parents are not stationed in the military area, they are entitled to one 30-day family visit leave per year. They can choose between annual leave and family visit leave, and the longer one will be automatically granted the 30-day family visit leave.

Those who have served for 20 years are entitled to 30 days of annual leave and 30 days of family visit leave, and can choose one of the two.

For those whose parents are both in the local area of ​​their post or whose parents are deceased, there is no family visit leave, only annual leave. Those who have served for less than 20 years are entitled to 20 days of leave, while those who have served for 20 years or more are entitled to 30 days of leave.

For married military officers, annual leave is calculated based on their service time, so there is no difference.

However, there are differences in family visit leave. Married military officers whose wives do not reside in their post are entitled to 40 days of spousal visit leave per year, and an additional 20 days of parental visit leave every two years.

Of course, although there are two types of family visit leave, they cannot be taken at the same time. You can only choose one of them. If your spouse and parents are not in the same city, you can combine the family visit leave and take 45 days at a time.

These are all regular holidays, excluding travel time, nursing leave, marriage leave, bereavement leave, and other special holidays.

Non-commissioned officers have similar holidays to officers, the only difference being that junior and mid-level non-commissioned officers do not have annual leave, only family visit leave.

During the three-year term of a first-term sergeant, unmarried sergeants are entitled to two 20-day leave periods to visit their spouses, while married sergeants whose spouses live in different locations are entitled to one 40-day leave period to visit their spouses each year and one 20-day leave period to visit their parents every four years.

Things get much better when you reach the second term of sergeant. Unmarried sergeants get a 30-day leave to visit their family once a year, while married sergeants who live in different places get a 40-day leave to visit their spouse once a year and a 20-day leave to visit their parents once every four years.

For sergeants in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth terms, there was no difference in their leave for visiting relatives; unmarried sergeants received 30 days, and married sergeants received 40 days.

However, there is another difference between the fifth and sixth term sergeants, which is whether their family members accompany them to the military. If their family members accompany them, they will receive 20 days of annual leave each year.

However, the leave for visiting parents has been cancelled. If the parents live in another city, the person is still entitled to 20 days of leave to visit their parents every four years.

As for conscripts, well, they are not entitled to leave.

Of course, in addition to these regular holidays, there will also be some extra holidays. Various places have some flexible policies. For those stationed in remote areas or at high altitudes, up to 30 extra days of holidays can be added.

So, if you calculate it carefully, Zhang Anbang doesn't have much vacation time at all. In the next ten years or so, he will only have a maximum of 20 days of annual leave.

Once they have served for twenty years, they can enjoy thirty days of annual leave.

Before serving for 20 years, Zhang Anbang only had 20 days of annual leave each year.

As for family visit leave, according to the regulations, there are only two types: visiting immediate family members, namely parents, and visiting one's spouse. Given that both his parents are deceased, he is not eligible for family visit leave.

As for spousal visit leave, Gu Xiaonan and he were in the same military region and stationed in the same location, so he was not eligible for spousal visit leave.

Well, all things considered, he is not eligible to take family visit leave.

As a non-commissioned officer, Shi Jin was entitled to ten days of extended marriage leave plus forty days of family visit leave after obtaining his marriage certificate. In addition, he had 15 days of leave accumulated from previous years, giving him two months of leave in one go.

Zhang Anbang is different; he can only take a maximum of 20 days of annual leave at once, plus 10 days of late marriage leave, for a total of 30 days.

This is why Gu Xiaonan said Zhang Anbang's vacation was too short. Think about it, a major's annual leave plus his late marriage leave is only equivalent to the family visit leave of an unmarried second-term sergeant. It's definitely as short as it gets.

The most important point is that officers' annual leave is forfeited if it is not used by the end of the year, while non-commissioned officers' family visit leave is better. If it is not used in the first year, they can be compensated with 15 days in the second year.

Starting from January 1, 2005, the system was finally aligned. Regardless of whether one was an officer or a non-commissioned officer, if one did not use up all their vacation days in a given year, they would not receive any additional vacation days in the following year.

Economic compensation for unused days of leave will be paid in accordance with the basic salary of December of that year. However, there is a prerequisite: the leave must be unavailable due to war preparedness or work tasks, or the employee must be recalled during leave and cannot take compensatory leave in the same year.

If an individual voluntarily gives up their vacation, no compensation will be given, as it will be considered a voluntary waiver.

Early the next morning, Zhang Anbang rode his Phoenix brand 28-inch motorcycle, which he had bought a few days earlier, toward the 702 barracks.

Actually, he could have hitched a ride with the division headquarters to the 702nd Regiment, but Zhang Anbang didn't want to do that.

Well, in this kind of situation, if it's for official business, the original bus route will not be changed at all. It won't consume more fuel or take a longer route just because you're giving passengers a ride.

Such acts of giving each other rides along the way are considered normal and frugal practices within the organization, and the headquarters and logistics department will not hold them accountable.

Especially for departments like training, communications, and military affairs that frequently travel across divisions and regiments for business, the leaders mostly turn a blind eye to this freelancing.

However, this trip was entirely for personal reasons, and he was not allowed to drive, as that would be considered misuse of a public vehicle. He was also not allowed to hitch a ride, as that would also be considered misuse of a public vehicle.

Many things are like this: they seem insignificant until they're weighed, but once they're on the scale, they seem incredibly heavy.

If someone is caught hitchhiking for personal reasons by military inspectors or sentries at the camp gate, they will be reported to their department and required to write a written self-criticism. The department head in charge and the person in charge of the vehicle will also be criticized.

Zhang Anbang, a young man who has just turned 25 and is already quite conspicuous, really doesn't deserve to draw attention to himself because of some trivial matters.

Although he was quite popular and had several uncles protecting him, he wasn't going to risk taking advantage of such a situation.

With Zhang Anbang's full strength, the Phoenix brand 28-inch motorcycle sped along the dirt road. Although it couldn't match the cruising speed of a jeep that was often thirty or forty kilometers per hour, it could still easily reach a speed of around twenty kilometers per hour.

It was the familiar 702nd Regiment family compound. An hour later, Zhang Anbang parked at the family compound where Wang Qingrui lived. A Mitsubishi Pajero V73 in green with gold decals on both sides was quietly parked in the parking space.

This is Brother Wang's car. He usually borrows the Cheetah Black King Kong when he needs a car. This time, Brother Wang heard that he was going to take his wife to take pictures, so he specially prepared this car for him.

In Wang Erge's words, don't be fooled by the fact that this car is made by the Japanese. Its off-road capability and space far surpass the Black King Kong, and its ride comfort and quietness are also far superior.

Zhang Anbang knew, of course, that this was Wang Erge giving him face, although he didn't care, as long as the four wheels could run.
