    It begins on the date that's listed on the leave form he signs. With both of ours, my husband called his SFC once we were in the hospital and was told not to worry about coming in. He didn't go back on post to officially go on leave until after we were home from the hospital.

    Leave starts when they sign the paperwork so could be now or could be later. Also it is not 10 days guaranteed, it is up to 10 days of paternity leave and the command can call him back at anytime. This means he might get 10 days or he might get less or he might still get called in for a few hours no telling what they will do.

    If he left work before his shift was up then he needs to be on leave!
