RMKS/1.  THE UNSCHEDULED EMERGENCY OPERATIONAL COMMITMENTS RESULTING
FROM THE 11 SEP 01 ATTACKS ON THE UNITED STATES GREATLY REDUCED
LEAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL SAILORS DURING THE FINAL DAYS OF THE
FISCAL YEAR WHEN MANY WOULD HAVE TAKEN LEAVE TO REDUCE THEIR
BALANCE.  PER REFS A AND B, ALL ACTIVE DUTY MEMBERS OF THE NAVY, IN
ADDITION TO THOSE DESIGNATED IN PARAGRAPHS A THROUGH C OF REF C,
WHO WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE LOST ANNUAL LEAVE ON 1 OCT 01, ARE
AUTHORIZED TO CARRY OVER AS MANY AS 90 DAYS OF LEAVE.  THIS LEAVE IS
CONSIDERED TO BE SPECIAL LEAVE ACCRUAL AND ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF
60 DAYS MUST BE USED BEFORE THE END OF THE THIRD FISCAL YEAR AFTER
THE YEAR IN WHICH IT IS EARNED (I.E., 30 SEP 04).

RESTORED IN NOV 01.
