Hi,
So I just graduated AIT and am currently on 2 weeks HRAP (which I know does not count as chargeable leave) and then I will have two additional weeks of regular leave afterward.
At a rate of 2.5 days per month, soldiers may earn up to 30 days leave per year.
My question is, if straight out of AIT I am allowed to take 14 days leave, does that mean I will not be able to take leave again for six months?
I think thats the way it will work out but I just wanted someone to double check.
I leave for Germany in October and my husband and I were very excited because we always wanted to go to Italy for our honeymoon but couldn't afford it (we didnt have a honeymoon at all) and were happy to find out that we would be spending our one year anniversary quite close by and were hoping to be able to take a few days leave to celebrate our anniversary in Italy however it looks like I wont have any leave available at that point... which means we probably wont be able to go....can anyone offer any advice or anything Im missing here?
Thanks
Oh also for clarification, the only reason I was thinking it would take 6 months before I could get leave was bc thats how long it would take me to 'pay back' the 'in-the-hole' leave of 14 days that I am taking now.
Oh okay wow, thanks guys that really brightened my day. I knew you were allowed to go in the hole (technically thats what I am right now as I joined in May yet am taking 14 days now in Sept) but I thought that was just a special exception because of AIT. I had heard that we could get weekend passes to visit near-by countries but wasn't sure if that was just literally a weekend pass (i.e. sat and sunday) or if I would be allowed to go for alittle longer (we're hoping to go for 5-7 days). I dont get to my unit until October but hopefully I can get my commander to agree to letting me take a few days off in December. Thank you so much!
