    \n
  • even under martial law, service members will be allowed to take a part of their annual vacations and vacations for family emergencies (or for other cases provisioned by law) without taking leave without pay<\/li>\n
  • each vacation will be restricted to 10 days (travel time not included although restricted to no more than 2 days one-way)<\/li>\n

    What is right:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • service members need vacations to maintain their high morale and to keep their emotional state in balance, especially considering a lengthy period of active hostilities<\/li>\n
    • the draft bill balances the interests of service members and their commanders by including a provision that units still must have enough staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
