Military Regular leave is military enlistment of up to four years (or longer in certain circumstances.) All requests for enlistment must be presented in writing to the proper supervisor and department head at least two weeks in advance. The application for Leave of Absence must be submitted. A copy of the orders to report to active duty must be attached and designate the length of time required to serve active duty.
