What is the possibility of taking a weekend pass while an IET soldier?

I'm in a long AIT where privileges are a bit more relaxed. I was wondering if there was any likelihood I was permitted to take a Saturday Sunday leave for my older sisters wedding that's coming up and be back for duty the next week. Only thing my company has on weekends is a curfew formation so that's the only thing I would miss. Would my plt sgt be able to make this happen with my Company and or Battalion Commanders?

Go to your Sqd.Ldr tell her/him about your situation because they will know the correct path using the Chain-of-Command.

You're asking the wrong people. Ask your PSG. Most of the time if the Army can help a soldier get to a family event like that, they will. But it's not guaranteed.

You have to talk to your leadership about that. I'm sure there is also a SOP about leave and passes for your AIT.
