LEAVE REQUEST CERTIFICATION: I acknowledge that the leave requested by me will be charged against my leave account unless otherwise cancelled or
corrected through Part III of this form. In addition, if I cannot earn enough leave before separation to cover this request, I consent to withholding from current
pay, final pay, or any other pay due me to satisfy this indebtedness. I understand that there is no actual debt until my final separation from the Air Force;
however, I consent to this withholding of pay in anticipation of the indebtedness for the unearned portion of my leave balance. I further consent to such
withholding at a rate sufficient to satisfy this indebtedness no later than my requested or projected separation date, and understand that this could result in the
withholding of 100% of any current pay, final pay, or any other money due me. I have read the instructions on PART II.
1. THIS FORM MUST BE TYPED OR COMPLETED IN INK.
2. BEFORE SEPARATING PARTS I, II, AND III, COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING BLOCKS:
a. Blocks 1 thru 5, 9, 12 thru 21, and 23 thru 25 are self-explanatory.
b. Block 6, current Leave Balance. Verify that the member has enough leave balance to cover the period of leave requested. This may be done by checking the
member's LES or the orderly room's leave balance listing. Complete 6a when member requests leave with a planned return date within 30 days of DOS.
c. Block 7. This block will be completed, signed, and stamped by the appropriate medical authority if convalescent leave is recommended.
d. Block 8. For PTDY, state the paragraph number of the applicable reason for PTDY as stated in AFR 35-26 and in Remarks area give abbreviated description

leave approval and forwarding Part I to AFO. Do not get leave number earlier than 14 days before effective date.
f. Block 11. First Day/Time of Leave Status. This is the earliest time a member can depart or sign up for space available transportation. If planned departure is
on a non-duty day, enter the non-duty date and 0001 hours. If planned departure is on a duty day without performing the majority (more than 50%) of scheduled
duty, enter the date and time when more than 50% of the scheduled duty will be completed. NOTE: Leave status is not necessarily chargeable leave. Date
cannot be more than 1 day before the date in block 12. See also Part III, Instructions for Charging Leave.

30 days, comply with AFR 35-9

LEAVE REQUEST CERTIFICATION: I acknowledge that the leave requested by me will be charged against my leave account unless otherwise cancelled or
corrected through Part III of this form. In addition, if I cannot earn enough leave before separation to cover this request, I consent to withholding from current
pay, final pay, or any other pay due me to satisfy this indebtedness. I understand that there is no actual debt until my final separation from the Air Force;
however, I consent to this withholding of pay in anticipation of the indebtedness for the unearned portion of my leave balance. I further consent to such
withholding at a rate sufficient to satisfy this indebtedness no later than my requested or projected separation date, and understand that this could result in the
withholding of 100% of any current pay, final pay, or any other money due me. I have read the instructions on PART II.
1. If you take more leave than you will accumulate before date of separation (DOS), the AFO immediately collects all pay and allowances you
receive during the period of excess leave.
2. Remember:
a. Your leave is normally effective on the date you include in your leave request as "first day of chargeable leave."
b. If you want to change your starting or projected return date before departing on leave, you must notify the leave-approving authority.
c. When you sign up for space-available transportation, you have started a period of leave. Once space-available travel has been signed
for, leave is charged according to the table on Part III. (Authority: AFR 35-9).
3. You must be in the local area of your permanent duty station before start, and upon completion of leave. Local area is defined as the place
of residence or home from which the member commutes to the duty station on a daily workday basis.
4. Before departure, you must have an approved leave authorization (AF Form 988, Leave Request/Authorization) or special order and enough
funds for expenses, including costs for travel. Do not assume you can return on time by military air transportation.
5. You must be able to be contacted through the address or phone number shown on your leave authorization. Members with key mobility
deployment responsibilities must notify their unit mobility officer, NCO or alternate of scheduled leave as soon as possible before departure.
6. If you need an extension of leave, call or send a telegram to the individual who approved your leave. If you are on emergency leave, ask
the nearest American Red Cross chapter to verify the continuing emergency to the leave-approving authority.
7. If you require medical or dental treatment while on leave, go to the nearest uniformed services treatment facility. If you must be treated for
an emergency at a civilian facility, instruct the civilian source of care to submit a claim for payment to the nearest Air Force medical treatment
facility/Resource Management Office. The claim must be itemized, including diagnosis, medical records, your pay grade, military address, and
SSN.
a. If you are hospitalized in a military medical treatment facility, ensure that your organization of assignment is notified as soon as possible.
b. If you are hospitalized in a civilian facility, notify the nearest Air Force medical treatment facility (Patient Affairs Office) as soon as
possible
8. If you are in need of funds, go to the nearest Air force finance office and show this leave form and current Leave and Earnings Statement
(LES). Casual payments, if authorized, cannot exceed unpaid pay and allowances to date. If you do not have your LES, you may experience a
delay.
9. Observe all traffic rules if you travel by automobile.
10. If you plan to travel by commercial air at reduced rates, contact the airline to learn what documents you need.
11. It is your responsibility to return to your permanent duty station or obtain a leave extension from your supervisor before expiration date of
your leave.
12. If travelling by DOD-owned aircraft, MAC contract flights, or commercial air, you must comply with dress requirements according to AFR
35-10, Chapter 6.
13. Personnel possessing a DD Form 714, Meal Card, or DD Form 2 AF, when used in lieu of a meal card, must not use either identification to
obtain meals while on leave.
14. During PTDY, days not used for reason stated in Section I, block 8, are chargeable as leave. Proof of use may be required.
15. You must meet all appointments while on leave or reschedule the appointments before departure.
16. Before you depart on leave, you should complete DD Form 2258. Temporary Mail Disposition Instructions, at the Postal Service Center, to
