The Army has a paternity leave program that grants a number of days that cost the solder using them nothing.

Seek your CoC or your post chaplain. <br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.thebalancecareers.com/army-paternity-leave-3344594">https://www.thebalancecareers.com/army-paternity-leave-3344594</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d26horl2n8pviu.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/455/136/qrc/GettyImages-90306693-5a44ecd4482c520036778a30.jpg?1573302116"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://www.thebalancecareers.com/army-paternity-leave-3344594">Overview of the Army Paternity Leave Program</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">The Army paternity leave policy allows married male soldiers on active duty to take 20 days of nonchargeable leave for the birth of a child.</p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> SSG Brian G.
