Title says it all really, I'm heading down to NASP soon as SNA and I've heard about the backlog of pilots classing up, so my question is how relaxed/stringent is the leave policy at NASP while waiting to class up (I can understand if you are in class its not happening unless emergency's maybe). The main reasoning is I was invited to go to Japan for a week with friends in a few months and its something I've always wanted to do so I didn't want to let this opportunity pass by. Is my leave likely to get approved or denied? Thanks.

While you're in A pool, leave is common to request. If you're just showing up, you're most likely going to have to at least finish your prerequisites like NAMI and APIT/PRT but not 100% on that so don't quote me. For requesting leave, you just submit leave chit via NSIPS and the appropriate A pool DivO in STUCON will route your chit. As far as getting approved for your leave, that's a case by case basis obviously so cant tell you if it'd be approved or not

I took 28 days of leave to get married and go to England & Greece. That was 18 years ago. I'm sure nothing has changed since then.
I wouldn't make plans until you check in and get the lay of the land. After that, just be professional and ask nice, but back it up with reading the applicable instructions and having your paperwork in order. The Foreign Clearance Guide website is a good place to start.

I was in APool a little over a year ago. Took international leave to a “yellow flag country” ie has potential dangers for military.
Japan should be a cake walk in constrast.
There’s an international leave coordinator. You’ll work with them to get everything in for approval. Put the request in sooner rather than later
Leave is super common. No reason it shouldn’t be approved.

confirmed. they want you to take leave if you have it. First day here people were submitting leave.
That's good to hear, I have a a buddy graduating from AF OTS in May and he wanted me to commission him as well, lotta leave to be spent as soon as I get there.
I would recommend you personally talk to the person who approves leave, and explain your desires so that when your leave pops into his/her inbox, it’s not a surprise. They can also tell you the pre-travel requirements for international travel. Consider it greasing the wheels before you set it in motion…no one likes surprises.
