2.  The number of assisted leave travel trips the member is eligible for is calculated using the following formula.

    B                                                                                                                                                                                        is the extra posting period in months.

3.  The outcome of the formula in subsection 2 is rounded up to the nearest whole number.
4.  If the number of trips calculated under subsection 2 is more than what is provided under Annex 16.B column 3, at least one of the additional trips must be to a regional leave centre.
