Miltary people that know! about r & r please help!!!?

Provided he has it, he can typically take 30 days leave in conjuntion with any PCS. However, this does not mean he can leave any earlier. He may be able to, in fact he probably will, but the needs of his command will dictate that.

No sorry, he isn't planning a nice surprize. He can NOT come home early because he didn't use his mid-tour leave. My hubby was in Korea for 12 months, no mid-tour leave. He was still gone exactly one year.

Piece of advise is have him asking for his orders 90 days out like they are suppose to get, we had problems, didn't get the orders till 2 weeks till he was due home.

Ours was a double PCS move (left from one base conus, to korea, to a different base conus), so he took leave and PCS leave, 40 whole days. (30 leave, 10 PCS leave).

was it a deployment or a remote one Year PCS? BIG difference. remote tours they MIGHT get to leave early if they do not take mid tour R&R. Deployments, they have to stay the whole time. earliest would be the amount of time R&R would have been.. could be 2 weeks, could be 30 days.

In the Navy we had what was known as early bird flights. People that were not essential were allowed to fly home early after deployment provided the boss says he can do the job with you gone. How important is his job at his work. Is he the only guy that can do his job or can someone else handle it.

Man talk about throwing a wet towell on a nice surprise.

If you calculate how many days of leave he has saved up, that's how much earlier he can come home. Unless he heads somewhere else for leave, and then comes home.

if he is deployed to Korea, I dont think they get r and r to come back home, its just weekend leave and liberty, r and r comes either prior ar after deploying

He should be able to take leave in conjuction to PCS.

they get leave... i know when we were stationed in Italy our friend didnt take leave one year and he still had to do his full 36 months, they didnt let him leave 30 days early....he just accumulated days...If its use or lose days they have a set amount time they have to use them before they lose them
