How many days of annual leave does an enlisted member accrue each month, and what is the maximum carryover allowance?

• A. 2.0 days per month; 45 days
• B. 2.5 days per month (30 days per year); maximum carryover 60 days
• C. 3.0 days per month; 90 days
• D. 4.0 days per month; 120 days

Answer: (B)

Enlisted personnel accrue annual leave at 2.5 days each month, which totals 30 days per year. The carryover limit is 60 days, meaning you can carry that amount into the next year but no more. This combination—2.5 days per month and a 60-day carryover—fits the standard policy, balancing regular time off with a cap to encourage planning and use of leave. The other options would change the yearly accrual (for example, 2.0 would be 24 days a year, 3.0 would be 36, 4.0 would be 48) or the carryover cap (60 days is the typical maximum, while the others listed don’t align with the rule).
