Only have to take leave for weekends in certain situations, like if you're taking Friday and Monday off and will be out of the local area the entire time.

That's because a normal weekend is simply a two-day liberty. But one's not truly off-duty; one's commanding officer may direct one to show up instead (he may cancel leave, too, but that's a different process). When one is out of the area, one is no longer physically able to return to one's work station within a short length of time, which is why leave (vice liberty) is required. Unlike the civilian world, the military ain't a 9-to-5 job!
- cwyers 11y agoI think you're mixing up the concepts of leave, liberty and duty. Libo can be secured without you being on duty; you can't leave the base or do other things when liberty is secured, but you're not on duty just because liberty is secured.
