Since I don’t know what OSUT or AIT stands for, I might be repeating the above question, if so I’m sorry. My husband is set to be in Ranger School when our second is born, would he be able to get this leave or does the policy not apply to the men in various schools? I had no clue they had enstilled something like this, and was thinking the other night how they should. I’m glad they listened to my thoughts before I even had them! ;p

Good question. The policy only states that they must be on “active duty”.

does this still apply if they’re in OSUT or AIT??

As far as I’m aware, it is only 10 days.

I thought I read a new policy where they get 21 days.. I know my husband found it last year when we adopted but have not been able to find it again.. do you know if this is still true and where can I find it for the Soldiers that I work for? Thank you.
