Oh yeah well, he can take the days and get pain in full or... he can cash in those days when he gets out but, the Army only pays you half pay for those days. So, he could take 40 days of vacation and be paid for them or he can not take them and get paid for 20.

It would have been nice had they told him last night he had to come in for this instead of calling at 6 am and expecting him to be there at 9... it takes 2 hours to GET there with snow and traffic.

This wouldn't be so annoying if they didn't do this kin of thing ALL of the time. So he will be home some time around 3 tomorrow afternoon after working over 24 hours with no sleep plus a dentis appt... and then he has to get back up at 3 am wed morning... up at 3, out by 4, work til 5ish, traffic til 7:00, eat dinner, back to bed by 8 or 9, and do it all over again...

Which makes him a VERY GRUMPY man lately. I cannot blame the guy! And since I only see him 2 hours a day and on weekends.... Him getting out is going to be a big adjustment for all of us.
