So I’m at my first unit in processing. Our summer block leave is at the end of this up coming month of June. It’s may 29th right now. I was looking at putting in my leave packet and turning it into my team leader. Because I have already met them on day 2 in processing. I have no idea where to start with what papers I need to print for a leave packet and what all papers I need. all help would be greatly appreciated?

DA Form 31 is all the form you need, unless your unit has a particular SOP about leave packets. Step one, just get with your NCOs and they will assist you.

ok - first - you will need to see how many leave days you have accrued, and have you taken leave in between your AIT and reporting to your new duty station. Most units will NOT allow a Troop to go in the hole with leave beyond a week. Second step is filling out a DA31 (leave form) along with unit specific paper work ( Vehicle inspection, a proposed itinerary(do not finalize flight) a risk assessment, among other paperwork.

Looking at your pay grade I have to wonder how much leave you have saved up. Did you take any leave to see your family and friends after you completed your training?

Ok, just be careful of how many days you take. Once you start building up days it would be a good idea to keep one or two weeks in reserve for any family emergencies. I always made sure that I had at least two or more in case something happened at home.
