I am trying to take paternity leave and my leadership doesn't know how to fill out the 4187 and I can find any examples on line.

I just went through this! It’s a 4187 to make you a secondary care giver to your spouse. The 4187 allows 21 days of paternity leave. You still need a leave form and on the reason you put care giver instead of paternity leave. My OPS had a format and you turn in discharge paperwork for baby and they handle the rest.

Why would you need a 4187 for leave??? Turn in your leave form and go.
