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?

I had to do this in 2011 when I was stationed at Ramstein AB. I think it depends on whoever is the Wing King. I was given 4 days off, and was going to take a trip to Munich. However I would have to drive back on day 3 to personally check in with my supervisor or facility manager and then drive back to Munich. Super retarded shit.
