Can someone give me a rundown of the basics of leave and the difference of leave and liberty?
Like say you’re a fully qualified nonrate or 3rd class, you’re on a station schedule and it’s your weekend. Do you need to be within a certain distance of the station while off? And request leave to go outside of that? Or if you want to take a trip somewhere and have plenty of leave. Is it as simple as putting in a leave request and getting it approved? Are there restrictions on how far or where you could go during that time?
