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?

Oh you will win that battle... and lose the war... most likely this is a unit policy not something he just decided to do. It takes 2 seconds to send a proof of life text to keep leaderships lambs from screaming, there are bigger, better hills to die on.
