What is the "norm", if any, when it comes to pre-deployment leave? I'm not talking how much actual pre-deployment, annual, special, weekend, etc days you get, but actual calender days.
I know people like replacements for instance get very little time before leaving but it seems, with some around here getting little more then a week, that with the months of preparation for this tour that things could have worked out a little better for some folks.
I'm not griping (as one of the people affected), I accept things need to happen, or atleast some things happening are quite beneficial to the mission, but I'm wondering if this is at all out of the norm. Not only is predeployment seemingly quite short for some people, but they are working long days up to that point with very little time for all the various admin issues, etc. that needs to be taken care before deploying. Granted, this is a very small minority of the pers deploying I'm talking about.
