If you have orders to return home for any reason (end of contract, separation, emergency leave), can you buy your own plane tickets? Army Specifically

It depends on the circumstances. Also, you're junior enlisted, so your ability to buy tickets for official travel may be restricted. If you're going TDY, stick with DTS. The Government negotiates fares with the airlines that are normally cheaper or as cheap as buying the ticket yourself. Additionally, you may be prohibited from purchasing tickets for official travel with your own money and being reimbursed.
Leave is a different matter. Normally if you're going on leave, it's on your money, so you can buy transportation from whatever provider you want.
Since you're in the Guard, there may be additional rules because some of your travel may be State funded. Check with your chain of command.
