Expecting a child next year around the time I am expected to be in AIT. Would I be able to receive paternity leave as if I was stationed at my duty station? Would I be recycled Etc?

You could, but you could also expect to recycle back a phase to the next class coming through. Probably setting you back several months given your MOS. You're only allowed to miss a given number of hours of POI in any school.
I had the same thing happen to me when I went to 68W. My choice was take leave and recycle back a few months, or finish school and see them after.

My husband has the choice to do the same . We decided whenever our baby comes he will take the leave . He might be recycled. I’m wondering if his station or orders will change hoping they don’t expecally because we’re not hoping for a deployment right off the bat do you know anything abt this ?

Kylie Parr it just depends on how much later his new graduation is. But if it's a difference of 60 days or less it doesn't usually change.
This only applies to IET Soldiers. In service active duty reclasses don't get that option

SFC (Join to see) he is active duty and it will be 4 months or more his Ait when he is recycled. Will his orders change ? He got there sometime in September and he would’ve be graduating in February that is 5 months just about and that will be recycled after the leave he takes .

Yea only if you're married but it depends on the commander. If you are married and your spouse is expecting a child they have to give you the free 21 days of leave.

You can also take your parental leave anytime throughout your child's first year of life

I would try to take it before you leave the command you are at when you had the child. I don't recall the time limit but it needs to be taken within a window. Worst case it can be taken in conjunction with your PCS leave at the end of your class.
