Default Re: off vs leave vs vacation

Another point is that--from my point of view as an American--vacation is what 'normal' people get. "Leave" is what I had in the Army. In the second sentence, the "I have two weeks of leave" sounds like someone from the military speaking.

Or do I only think that because I heard it in the Army a lot? Any other opinions?
