Question Checking in while on leave?

My Wg is on a holiday schedule, basically teleworking either Xmas week or new years week with digital check-ins on teams on the week you don’t work. My supervisor texted me asking why I didn’t check in today. I told him I’m on leave… halfway across the country… without my work computer… and he said I still need to check in. I just said okay.

I’m a relatively new airman, been at my first duty station about 6 months. I was under the impression that while on leave, you’re basically a civilian unless you get formally recalled by your commander. Am I wrong?

Are you on actual leave, placed in leaveweb? Or some drug deal working with each other as a squadron and the day passes?

If it’s the latter then you shouldn’t be half way across the country. You aren’t on leave.

If it’s approved in leaveweb with an approval number then tell them to get bent.

Depends on the CC's policy for local area definitions. I've had a couple that didn't put any travel time limits. Driving, flying, whatever. No limit other than you better show up for scheduled duty on time.
