So I've been in the army about 9 months so far (all of which have been spent in a training environment) and I've built up about 18 days of leave. I'm set to arrive at my first unit in about a week, there is a big family event I'd like to take a couple days of leave for after I get there, so basically my question is what do I need to do to request the leave days and what are the chances of a lowly private getting them approved.

As soon as you arrive to your new unit talk with your first line about taking leave. If you haven’t taken any leave yet since entering active duty you shouldn’t have an issue. Communication is key....

You will need to speak to your supervisor after you get to your unit. How soon after you report to your unit is the family event and how far is it located from your base?

Talk to your first line supervisor when you get to your new unit... if you haven’t taken leave since you’ve been in to go see your family they might let you... but then again they might not... as far as the process, you fill out a DA31, your first line supervisor should square you away, I wouldn’t be hopeful though
