§23.Q.6.c.Exception: covers it.
It'll be interesting to see how this is applied nowadays--note the actual language is "next day" (based presumably on the previous coverage sequence). So, unknown if you'd be able to do it *two* days out; but you're certainly good *one* day out. (I'd expect the company would be happy enough to allow it--they always want tomorrow's problem to be tomorrow's, while they fix today....)

I've got a Reserve Coverage - Green Slip Question,
Today (Thursday) I start two X days before a grouping of 5 long call days that begins on Saturday.
There is a miserable 5 day that I was primed to get so I've put in for a 1 to 3 day blanket green slip starting on Friday to ensure I don't get this horrible 5 day.
Well, with reserve assignments now happening 2 days prior, this morning I find I've been assigned the evil 5 day in question. I've not yet acknowledged it as I'm currently on rest.
Does this mean i won't be eligible for any last minute green slips that come up between now and the start of the 5 day that overlap the 5 day?
Or can I still get a green slip on Friday and the payback day will drop the 5 day from my schedule?
I've a sneaky suspicion it's the former. If so this is one of the unintended consequences of the 18 hour callout. My ability to greenslip on my X days taking advantage of last minute green slips to use payback days to break up a long reserve grouping is now quite limited.

We'll see how this plays out.

PD is another option but it will cost you a few hours of reserve guarantee.

I'm not sure how they will apply this. If I get a 1 day green slip the day prior to an awarded reserve rotation will the payback day drop the awarded rotation?
I'm assuming if I get a 2 day green slip the day prior to an awarded reserve rotation the reserve rotation will be dropped?
