Then:
1) PBS bid. You're "Super New," so you'll probably be on RES. If not, you can bid RES to increase your chances of getting those days off. If unsuccessful,
2) iCrew : Move RES DAYS. If unsuccessful,
3) APD/IVD
iCrew machinations for the following month begin on the 20th

I would fill out the "TRAINING/OE DAYS OFF" template in iCrew just in case your OE is not completed.

You're either not keeping the min number of on call days (3 or 4) or exceeding the max number of off day blocks. You can only move days from the end of a reserve block, not the middle. Also, you can't break the min on call day requirement at the end of the month during PCS. Sometimes it takes me multiple PCS's to accomplish what I want. Also, if your category has MSL, you can't break that. I'm not sure we h currently have any categories with MSL...usually the 350.

You also cannot add a block on X days with PCS. IOW, if you didn't bid 5 blocks with your initial PBS award, you can't add it now. It's stupid and sucks, I know.

Also, you can't create a 30/168 issue in PCS, although you can create such a problem in PBS. (Ie, on call for 7 or more days)
