I'm requesting LOA for about 2 months. Reason being is that I am starting college courses again and one Biology class in particular demands my every second . I hope to return to my duties in March. Thannk you. And good luck in SS.

Good luck with your studies!  

Just a suggestion but u might want to contact a 1iC and ask for extended time in case u don't come back on in exactly 2 months. 2 months is the maximum unless a 1iC is notified
