I can accumulate about 3-4 weeks a year, they cash you back to 80 hours at the end of the year if you have extra. I have 2 weeks saved now. Planning on using all of it this summer.

I earn 2.5 days of leave for every month that I work (in port OR out to sea)....Right now, I have about 30 days saved up. We can have a max of 60 days on the books before they MAKE us take leave. LOL

25 years with the company this year earns me 32 days of vacation....but that's it...no matter how much longer I stay, I'll never get more than 32 days...but it beats unemployment.

I get a little over 4 weeks. I just hit 10 years at my company and instead of giving me an extra week off (like they used to), they gave me a digital camera. It's a pretty nice camera, but I'd rather have had the extra time....
