I&#39;m not sure why they told you that. Or were they referring to Terminal Leave?

Not only did I take 30 days of leave in the middle of my tour, but I took my remaining 57 days on the tail end of it. There should be nothing preventing you from taking your leave. There&#39;s no regulation that states what HRC told you.

Also you are allowed to take leave while you’re on the 1 year tour to Korea. I took 30days leave when I was stationed in Korea and I did not have to extend my 12 month tour. I hope this helps...Good Luck SFC Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 26 Jun 2018 20:37:52 -0400 2018-06-26T20:37:52-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-take-an-assignment-to-korea-with-only-a-year-until-i-ets-will-i-lose-my-terminal-leave?n=3745982&urlhash=3745982 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can have your leave. The only way you can&#39;t is if you get a bad chapter. Your unit will most likely let you take your leave from there. Enjoy Korea. It&#39;s a great place!

Some of them take leave 2 times in that year. 1 time in winter for Christmas leave and the next in the summer. Your terminal leave you will always be authorized. Korea is just another assignment just as if you were getting out of the army from a CONUS assignment. I think they were telling you to serve your whole time without leave so that you accumulate more leave to be able to take for terminal leave (i.e. taking like 30 days terminal leave or however much).
