What type of leave is considered nonchargeable to your leave account?

Convalescent leave is considered nonchargeable to your leave account because it is granted specifically for the recovery and rehabilitation of service members after a medical procedure, illness, or injury. This type of leave is intended to ensure that personnel can return to duty in a healthy state without being penalized through deductions from their leave balance. Unlike other leave types, such as annual leave, which are earned and charged against a member's leave account, convalescent leave allows service members to focus on their recovery without worrying about losing leave days. This promotes overall readiness and mental well-being within the ranks.
