Daddy Leave after basic?
Hello!
My husband is currently in basic, graduates on July 12th and I am due with our first child any day now. I know he cannot leave basic to be here with me during the birth, but I've heard that after basic training they can take up to 10 days of 'daddy leave' (not counted towards his 30 days of leave). Is this true? Would he be able to take it during A-school?
Best case scenario would be that his A-school doesn't begin right away and has some time on hold and could possibly use the 10 days to be with me and our daughter. I know I probably wont get a direct answer until the time comes, but does this sound right to anyone?
I just don't want to get my hopes up thinking he will be able to spend a little bit of bonding time with his daughter and in reality he wont be able to until we fly down there to visit... (haven't decided if we are moving to Pcola since it is for 5 months and may not be able to afford the move on our own).
Any knowledge on this would be SUPER appreciated!!!!
Thanks!!!!

Hey I just recently had our first kid in jan while my husband was in a school once I delivered I called Red Cross and he was on a flight later that day with 10 days of "daddy leave" it should be the same for you two ! Red Cross can't alert them that you're in labor but can after! And that's when they'll call his school and help him leave to come
Home :) if you need more help you can request and message me ! -

Was this when your husband was in A-school? I have the same problem! My son is due a few weeks after he arrives to A-school and I'm wondering if he can come after he's here for the same "daddy time" Is that possible? What do I to try and make this happen??

You can't do a thing, except let him know paternity leave is an option, and that he should ask about requesting it when he checks into the command. The school command might choose to approve it. However, it is not for the birth of the baby, so if you haven't delivered, chances are they won't say yes. After, they might. All he can do is put in a chit and see how it goes.

A lot depends on the A school, and whether he's begun classes or not. They all vary so much on policy as it is up to the CO. Some will, some won't. Heck, even the same school will one year, get a new CO, and not grant the leave anymore.
Stay positive, and hope for the best. Congrats.
