In my experience yes it takes longer!! His school may only be 5!weeks but heat not start right away. My husband got to A school this week and he's on hold for the next 4 weeks! So the 5 weeks wouldn't have even stArted yet. He's on hold because they couldn't start class and with the holidays. I here of a lot of people going on hold. No way to really know until he gets there and is told for sure by the people in charge of him there. This is just my experience with is going on with me and something to keep in mind, with the military everything changes in the drop of a second!!! Plans are never definite until they have it in writing or actually on the way home. It does suck. But again this is my experience yours could be completely different!!! I'm just telling you what's going on with me. However after boot camp he will have built up 5 days of leave time. He can put in a request when he gets to school and tell them you are having a child and they may send him home for 5 days he's built up... :) just a thought! But of course again I'm not sure since I'm not there! Hope everything works out! Congrats on the little one! :)

One thing he can do when he checks into school is to ask about his paternity leave. He gets ten days of free leave after the birth, and that;s good for up to a year. It can be combined with regular leave, and it can be split up. Up to his school or command as to when he can take it, but he has to ask about it to get it.

Here is the document I found that describes AM A school...it appears to be nine weeks, but that doesn't count the time they wait at the base before being assigned to a class. He could be there much longer, depending on the availablility of space.
