Who pays for my husband to fly home after he graduates AIT?

Hi. My hubby graduates AIT on February 18th and his first assignment is Camp Carroll, Korea with a reporting date of March 14th. Am I wrong in assuming that he will be able to come home in between? If he is able too, do we pay for his flight home? What about his flight to Camp Carroll for his reporting date?


This is all obviously very new to me so any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!Who pays for my husband to fly home after he graduates AIT?
the Army will only pay for his flight from AIT ot Korea. any interim travel is on his own dime.


He MIGHT be able to have them route the flight from AIT to home to Korea and then he would just pay the difference betrween the total cost and what it would have cost for a direct flight to Korea.





otherwise he has to get a RT ticket from AIT/Home/AIT before flying off to Korea.Who pays for my husband to fly home after he graduates AIT?
The Army will pay for the cost of his plane ticket from AIT to his Port Call at more than likely San Fransisco Air port for futher travel to Korea.





Depending on where you live.





They may pay a prorated portion of his plane ticket home after AIT, ( Instead of a plane ticket from AIT to San Fransisco )





Then he must pay for the plane ticket from home, to San fransisco for his Port Call.





The service member is always responsible for travel cost when on leave.





The military only pays for official travel cost.
He pays out of pocket to get home and get back to his port call location. The military only pays for the ticket to Korea. And he's allowed to take leave after completion of AIT. He just has to go back to his port call location after he's done unless they re-route him to make it easier.


I went through the whole process, when he has his orders to leave and start outprocessing, one of his outpro requirements is to go to port call to get his ticket to Korea, he can tell them when he leaves AIT and how long he intends to take leave and they'll give him a ticket for that date.
He has to pay for his trip home. The military will provide transportation to his duty station in Korea. The military charters airline flights to transport troops to areas.





Your husband will be given time to come home and take care of family business before he leaves. He will be charged leave days for the time he spends there; every service members accrues 30 days leave for every year of service, or 2.5 days per month (it is a government job, so they do get nice perks). He will be indebted those days until he serves enough time to get back to a positive. For example, if he graduates Feb. 18 and starts leave that day, and returns to base for his flight to Korea on the 10th, that would be a 20 day leave; if he does not have 20 days accrued leave, then he will not be able to take any more leave until he serves long enough to get back 20 days. He will be able to take the 20 day leave, but nothing else until he has positive accrued leave days.
he will pay not the military
