Leave is leave no matter when and it all counts against your 30 days, you can acrue your yearly days up till 75 before you lose it all if not used and start back down at zero.
I know this is knit picking, but just to clarify, since the question was asked...
Like Valion said, leave is leave, it's not like in school, where there's breaks. You can take leave even if you don't have any days (like when you're commissioned), you just go in the hole. You can earn up to 60 days of leave and keep them on the books, then you can earn another 30 that will stay w/ you until the end of the next fiscal year (October), where it will drop down to 60 again. Of course to further complicate things, you can change that 60 to 90 if you're part of an operational command (something I'm unfortuneately going to test out when October comes around).
This is all on the www.bupers.navy.mil site under the MILPERSMAN, in case anyone wants to get the real skinny.
