My wife delivery due is coming soon which is in next week. I joined the AD Army 9 months ago. How many paid days i can get as a parental leave? My friend works for Department of homeland security as GS-12 and he is saying that he is geting 4 month paid parental leave. Does military also get the same benefit? Its been just 9 month since i start AD. Does it have to be 1 year for me to be eligible

I got 0 when I was in. My son got 0 when he was in but things have changed. We both lived with our dependents when babies were delivered.

21 days for “Secondary Caregiver” status. You should pre-position a DA 31 and let your commander know what you’re planning to do. It is non-chargeable leave and must be taken within a certain time period (link is in the SFC’s comment). There is no requirement to take the leave directly after birth.
