In plain language
Making a United States team gets you paid leave. A State employee in the career, senior executive or unclassified service who qualifies for the US team in world, Pan American or Olympic competition, in a sport contested at Pan American or Olympic level, is granted leave with pay, without loss of rights, privileges or benefits, and without interruption of retirement system membership, to prepare for and compete. Capped at 90 calendar days in a year, or the combined days of the official training camp and the competition, whichever is less. One of the few provisions in this chapter reaching the unclassified service.
