If my report date to my next duty station is a month out from my DEROS, am I supposed to take a month of leave?

My DEROS is the 13th of July from Hawaii, but my report date to Colorado is the 20th of August. Am I supposed to take 39 Days of leave in between these two dates?

SPC Benik if you have or when you get your orders it will state on there now early you can report. Once you know that you can put in your leave in.

Did you ask your leadership before posting here? Just curious.

As stated in the comments, you can either take 30 days leave or report early. If you report early, I recommend you contact your sponsor through ACT on ako and make sure they’re tracking. PCSing from OCONUS can be more challenging than CONUS.. so communication with your losing/gaining unit will be your most powerful tool.

Good luck

The fact that you think you are getting 39 days of leave is funny. You get 10 days currently and it needs to be either at your home station or new station. You should probably read the MILPERS that cover this.

Once you put your leave in your DEROS will be adjusted

It's up to you if you want the entire time off then take it. You can report in early if you would like to
and save your Leave time for later.

I would think it would be 30 days unless they owed you some. I don't know. I always used all mine.

Contact your existing Chain of Command, starting with your supervisor. Contact your gaining unit, starting with the contact that the gaining unit will provide to you.

If it were me, I would report early, if this is a realistic option. (Figuring out if it is a realistic option is why you contact your existing Chain of Command, starting with your supervisor, and contact your gaining unit.) My personal guess, everybody will be good and/or delighted with desire to report early.
