I plan on taking 4 leave days or even less depending on the duty station just to go home, get my PC, personal momentos and most importantly MY TRUCK. Can’t be going somewhere without a vehicle.

[@Kitzishot]

I had saved up a total of 110 days altogether. I took 20 days just before the 90 day ETS transition and then 90 days terminal. This was back in 1995 - 1996 and you were allowed to accrue a total of a 120 days if you served during the Gulf War. There were a lot of questions being asked on how a soldier with a four year enlistment was allowed to accrue that many days without anybody noticing. I was like, "Well, I asked to take two weeks for when my wife had our baby and that was denied. I asked to take two weeks when my Mom visited me in Germany and that was denied. My Platoon Sergeant denied my leave every single time I asked even though we weren't going out to the field or anything. So, ask him. Ask him why he didn't allow me to take leave after my wife had a C section? I would like to know too."

Yo Sgt, I just needed to let you know how much you have been instrumental in my enlisting process. Seriously, I found your channel by looking for ASVAB advice. After watching it, I scored a 96! Thank you bro!!

[@TheBenAllen.]

Aaren Soriano congratulations bro!

I’m getting married and I’m gonna use my leave days to add her as a dependent cause this stupid COVID thing is making the papers take FOREVER to come in

[@Liaxlifts]

How long after AIT graduation did it take for you to be released to go home?

[@AIRBORNE916]

@@Liaxlifts about a month and a half. Got to my unit Aug 31st and managed to get a four day to go get my car from home on Oct 9. I was a hold over at ait for only 2-3 days before I was shipped to my unit(Carson). The people going to Korea/Germany where on schedule to be there for at least a month before they shipped.

If not then how soon?

[@13bangbang16]

The thing is with covid there is no leave right now after basic or ait. We are also shipping slow to and from ait.

Bro I want a infantry work in army its 11b? I just want to go to battles and all about it. Another question can I go to marines corps after army?

[@brianvargas330]

Can you talk to a 13b I want to know what it’s like and what do they do and how to prepare to be in field artillery and what do they do besides fire the howitzer I’m thinking of going in the army as a 13b but cavalry scout is my second option

[@Narvaiz170]

Im heading to Fort Hood, i live two hours away from Hood. Whats the typical process or how long do i have to wait to take leave once i report to my first duty station ? And im married with kids, is there any specific instructions with that information. Thanks

[@francovzyl]

hay man, can you please make a video about non us citizen wanting to join the US army? I'm from South African and really want to join the US army, but dont know how it works and how to go talk to a recruiter. Love you're videos, ceep it coming !!! 🙏🏻🇿🇦

[@charrylacsina461]

What about if Holiday Block Leave is right after graduation? How will that work?

[@samanthasophios3536]

My boyfriend and I are long distance and I think he's still doing osut at fort benning. What's the chance of his first duty station being international? I'm hoping it's in America cause that's where he lives (I'm in australia) so we can meet during Christmas but I dont know if I can see him at the town/city he gets stationed at in america. Hes infantry.

Hi just wanna ask, my husband is at AIT right now at Fort Lee, can he bring me and our kids while he’s at AIT?

[@coledoesclash74]

I’m about to graduate from 68w AIT and our drill sergeants have said we might be able to take leave post ait. I was wondering if anyone had any info on it?

[@judestine1431]

were you on bravo company? And if so were you able to take leave?

[@tonierae9097]

So my husband is in Basic training and graduates come the end of March. So you are saying he will just go straight to AIT? His AIT is 22 weeks and will the army let my kids and I go out there with him?

[@TheBenAllen.]

I don’t thinks so on going with him to AIT

[@Liaxlifts]

How does it work for married individuals with children after they graduate AIT? Do I get time to go home and get them to bring them to my first duty station?

[@sarahmartinez9438]

so if we decide to leave for the block leave… can we choose to leave for less than 2 weeks? cause i’d only want to leave for a couple days then go back so i’m not in the negatives. my moms bday is on christmas so

[@StaySassyStyles]

I would def save up leave time like you said. I'd rather stay in the mentality. I've worked too hard to get in so I wouldn't try to get time off right away. Eventually I'd take 2 weeks to visit fam, friends and travel w/o going in to the negative but I'd hold off for as long as possible.

[@TheBenAllen.]

Smart!

[@lucasnutting8266]

hey ben im 24 years old going to osut for 11x are the drill saergants gonna expect me to take leadership roles during training cause i have 6 years more life expierence than an 18 year old?

[@toxicwaste8835]

My boyfriend went through boot camp and AIT (army infantry) He was under the impression that he could request leave after graduation, but was sent to his duty station right after graduation. Chances of him being able to request leave now that he is checking in? Or is it more likely he will have to wait till Christmas?

[@jswaggin614]

Did your boyfriend have to wait or was he able to take leave or get a weekend pass?

[@ravenochoa1947]

Do they make you quarantine after ait? Me and my husband are trying to plan our move but they’re telling him they might make him quarantine and report to his unit without getting me or moving our stuff

[@illwillscuts]

I’ve been told it depends on your duty station so for example right now if your duty station is Hawaii they require you to quarantine 2 weeks upon arrival , and most married soldiers with family are given a grace period to go home and help get affairs in order (if granted leave and you don’t have any you will go in the hole and have to earn the leave days back that you use until you are back positive) now every situation is different but this is what I’ve seen and am currently experiencing myself hope this helps!

I need a little help! Me and my fiance want to get married AS SOON as he gets out of OSUT. If it's possible we want to finalize our marriage after BCT, but with COVID we aren't going to count on it. Therefore, if we get married after he comes home from OSUT will that give me enough time to get myself put on his orders before his first duty station? I am already enrolled into DEERS as a dependent under my father, so would that make the process any faster for me?

[@lucasnutting8266]

you should do it before osut, cause you might not be in his orders for his first duty station.
