Teddy Roosevelt: Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official. Retired on November 30, 2023 with 30+ years of service.
Although I am under FERS, I've always been conservative in taking sick leave because I like it as a buffer, just in case I become very ill--- just never know.
Don't take my comments as trading advice /IFT: 4-24-24=50G- 50C https://www.theepochtimes.com/ & http://www.ewg.org/PermaCharts@p430#5159/strategy#4918p.410
When I retired my AL check was a little over $18K, THAT is much better than one or two stupid months of longevity!
If only I could have done that myself! Between having children requiring extended time off, dealing with sick children while DH deployed, suffering from a chronic illness that takes me out of commission for some time roughly every 5 years or so ... Sick Leave Accrual has been very difficult. I continue to strive to hold onto my sick leave, now I have to start holding Annual Leave also, so I can get that big check. Just have to build to that 440 Hours and retire on the RIGHT day.
I'm not sure, but I believe air traffic controllers have the option of cashing in their sick leave, like AL. Yet another perk they get.

I retired with 760hrs and received check for $21,000.00 Used up a lot of sick leave towards end of my career cuz figured it was worth a heck of a lot more then the small difference it would make in my annuity.
