What does "take French leave" mean ?
813692
It means to leave without saying goodbye, or to take advantage of an invitation (a party, a meal etc) and then dash off the minute the goodies are over. Imagine inviting someone to a fancy restaurant and they eat a hearty meal and then the minute they finish their dessert it's "Oh is that the time, I've got to run" before the check comes...no conversation, no nothing.\nThe Spanish call this "taking English leave" and I think in French they say something similar.

All leave considerations follow this simple rule: As conditions warrant."  Each commander (ship, battle group, Navy (CINCPAC, etc..)) makes up policies which are then modified by lower level commanders.  When you move to a new station, new policies apply.\n\nBasically, if they want you to go, you get to go.  If they do not want to let you, they say "Operational necessities do not allow leave" and deny the leave.
