I didn't use a lot of leave when I was in, except the traditional 2 weeks after boot-camp, I rarely took leave. Got out with 60 days on the books, had to use at least a week while on my last cruise, and before I got out, so took a week, and headed from Genoa Italy (where the ship was), and went up to Switzerland for a week. Got back the day before we left Genoa, so never really got to see much of it, but Geneva was gorgeous, and they actually liked sailors. (probably because they didn't see to many!) I also took a week once when the ship was in Athens, had family living there, so really enjoyed Athens. (And no I'm not Greek, the OMeara clan was pretty much scattered around the planet through marriages back in those days, one cousin married to a Greek Minister or Pastor.
