Hey guys,
Just curious if your experiences with your units when your child has been sick and you and your spouse are dual military. What did you guys do? How did your command handle it? Are there regulations that you know of that help dual military personnel to take off for their children’s sake?

If you both are in different units you both just ask to take leave. Tell them the situation. If you know in advance your child will be in the hospital just sit down with your first line and make plans. If it happens to be emergency leave you will need to get with the Red Cross so you both will be able to take leave. When my child got sick at day care she had to leave. When I took her to the hospital her doctor gave me quarters for a day so I could watch her. So, that could happen too.

There is no such thing as sick leave in the Army. There is Convalescence Leave, Emergency Leave and Ordinary Leave. The Con. Leave and Emergency Leave, sometimes, are not chargeable. Ordinary Leave; Block Leave, Use/Lose Leave, R&R Leave fall under Ordinary Leave and are chargeable. Now you and your spouse could ask your units to approve some Ordinary Leave. If your units do not have anything major planned they should let you take some leave to care for your child.
