Leave after A school
My son's in A school for fire control right now. We've been looking forward to the leave that he'll get following A school before he goes on to C school. Now, he says it may be possible for him to save that leave and use it at Christmas time. I hope that he's right because his younger brother and sisters would get to spend so much more time with him! Does anyone have experience with leave being used around Christmas? How flexible are the dates?

I found out this weekend that stand down for great Lakes begins the 22nd of Dec. but it must be after 9am and then they must be back before Jan. 7th. But I was also told because of their busy schedules some haven't even put in their chit as of yet. so it takes anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to get it back. So this was nerve wrecking to me knowing he hasn't been able to submit. so we are waiting to see what get approved before buying the airline ticket but like it was mentioned they have a place on base where they can go and get discounted tickets for just about anything. Hope this info helps.

My son's orders were not ready so he was held up at THU until this week. I know that puts A school behind but does he still have the time to leave in December?
Thanks.
