Talk to your CoC and inform them of the situation and what you would like. The Army has a paternity leave program that grants a number of days that cost the solder using them nothing. The one hitch for you will be in the timing and that your AIT will be pushed back a bit assuming you are an OSUT soldier. The below link is informative only. Seek your CoC or your post chaplain.

I would be extremely surprised if you were turned down. I had a fine Commander and my Chain of Command arrange for me to fly military airland enroute between deployments to be present for my second daughters birth.

Maybe, maybe not- just don't get comfortable if it happens
