How do the weekend passes work at Fort Drum? Will I be able to go to NJ on the weekends without taking leave?

To get a mileage pass you go through your squad leader and they will grab you the paperwork for the mileage pass then you turn it in to your training room along with a LES and da-31

First, inform your chain of command. When you do, have a set plan in place to get yourself back there quickly & dependably, in case an alert is called. Then, enjoy your weekend! From my experience, that’s the best way to cover your ass. Save all your units contact info in your phone, keep it on & charged at all times. If an alert is called, you’ll have 6 hours to report to your unit, no matter where you are. Handle your business responsibly and you’ll be fine.

You have to go thru your chain of command there, many posts have limits on how far you can travel w/o being on leave, If you are off for the weekend, do as you please except exceed the travel limit.
