Ive looked for the regulation for a hour and couldn't find it. If simeone could point me into the right direction, that woild be great.
P.S. my 1st SGT was talking to me this morning, 20180517, that the regulation for paternity leave may have been updated.

DoD Instruction 1327.06
"Paternity Leave. A married member on active duty whose spouse gives birth to a child shall receive 10 days of non-chargeable leave of absence to be used in connection with the birth of the child. This absence should be taken consecutively and within a reasonable amount of time following the birth." (p. 17, Sec. K [Non-Chargeable Leave], Para. 5 [Paternity Leave]) "...Additionally, Service members are authorized to combine a paternity leave of absence with R&R. The actual leave period at the R&R destination shall be charged to the Service member's leave account, except for the 10-day paternity leave of absence." (p. 16, Sec. J [Chargeable Leave], Para. 9 [R&R Leave], Subparagraph (d)) - particularly relevant to deployed soldiers!

Currently its 10 consecutive days within 45 days from birth. I just gave birth in February. Those 10 days should be non-chargable but you can take more leave in conjunction with it. My husband, spc type took his 10 days and then he used 10 days of his accrued leave. The 14day policy is still on the table but hasn't been confirmed.

Just remember folks DOD directive‘s and guidance is what the service is used to create their policy service members do not follow DOD guidance service members follow service guidance which Can mirror DOD guidance or conflict with it but that’s a fight and discussion the service has with DOD the member does not get to pick and choose which they want to follow
