Yes, once you enlist into the military, every day is paid. Leave will be charged during that time frame so you will be in the hole for leave when you graduate basic.

So let me make sure I understand, correct me if I'm wrong. They deduct it off of your pay at graduation? This was one thing that was never explained and I never thought to ask. Thanks for your help so far.

No, no pay is exchanged for exodus.

You earn 30 days of leave per year. You will not have been in the military long enough to actually have 14 days of leave on the books.

So, you take the 14 days leave and go on exodus but will be "in the hole" on leave. Meaning you still need to work to earn those days.

Ok got it! That makes better sense to me. Wasn't understanding the "in the hole" thing. Thanks for the answers
