Svenja Grant 7512071 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We are currently stationed OCONUS and are due to PCS (DEROS: Dec 1, 2022) of the year. My husband is reclassing and his AIT date is Jan 9 2023. Now we’ve just found out that I’m pregnant with our first child, due Oct 3.<br /><br />This would only roughly give us 7-8 weeks to get all the paperwork done for the baby to be able to fly and I feel like this would be pushing it.<br /><br />I really don’t want to stay back and we absolutely do not want to extend!<br /><br />I’ve heard about curtailments making it possible to move the DEROS forward in certain cases. Would my no flight pregnancy window possibly count as such?<br />If so, I understand we’d need a doctors note stating this as well as a DA 4187 for the package. Anything else?<br /><br />Thanks in advance! 2022-02-04T09:08:33-05:00 Svenja Grant 7512071

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your husband leaves for AIT Jan 2023, not you. He won&#39;t report to his unit until several months after that. You are not going to PCS to his AIT.<br /><br />You would need go curtail to a June DEROS, which is a six month curtailment, for a July report date. Then, you&#39;ll be at your follow on assignment 8+ months before your husband arrives. Or, you can extend for about nine more months since postpartum females get 12 months of stabilization after birth.<br /><br />Your husband cannot change his class date at all without serious risk of losing that class seat for good.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As the saying goes, “the army didn’t issue you a family” if he’s reclassing, you are staying where you are at until he’s done, and then you will PCS to the location. If you are due in October, then you don’t qualify for a curtailment as all major airlines will accept infants older than 2 weeks. <br /><br />I read this post 3 times and I’m still having issues as to understanding what your pregnancy has to do with a report date to your husbands AIT. <br /><br />If he’s reclassing, the Army will IFSTE him until he is complete and can return to PCS.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I just realized that you&#39;re a dependent spouse, not a dual military spouse. You don&#39;t have a DEROS, so what I said about stabilization for 12 months, or curtailing doesn&#39;t apply to you.<br /><br />DEROS does not mean anything other than the report date for your next assignment can&#39;t be earlier than that month. That&#39;s it. Nobody will kick you off the island after your spouse&#39;s DEROS and DEROS get moved left and right all the time depending upon report dates and leave taken. Your spouse&#39;s DEROS was moved to within 60 days of the class seat once he reenlisted.<br /><br />Your spouse will travel TDY enroute to their AIT and then follow on assignment. You can&#39;t move six months early to his follow on assignment because he shouldn&#39;t have one yet, meaning there is not a location for you to move to. <br /><br />He won&#39;t have a follow on assignment until right around the time you are giving birth. His follow on assignment should be CONUS. You don&#39;t need a passport to fly your child back to the states, but you will need command sponsorship and that will take some time. You may actually have to fly non-concurrent travel if you aren&#39;t ready to leave by the time of your husband&#39;s AIT.<br /><br />As for changing the class date, that&#39;s just not possible. Class seats are a finite resource. Depending on the MOS there might not be another class seat for that MOS for another year. You can&#39;t just move it to a later date.<br /><br />Your husband cannot change his DEROS date for a curtailment until he gets his follow on assignment. That will happen as early as six months from DEROS and as close as three months from DEROS. Your husband&#39;s DEROS MUST be within 60 days of his class start date for HRC to place him on a follow on assignment. If he is not placed on a follow on assignment then he can&#39;t go to school. He can&#39;t change his report date till he has an assignment with a report date.<br /><br />What you can do is EROD home early to be with family but without your husband until he finishes his training.<br /><br />So, here are your options:<br /><br />1. Have the baby and hustle to get the command sponsorship done before your husband leaves for AIT.<br /><br />2. EROD home this summer. The Army will pay for you to fly home, you&#39;ll have to pay to move to rejoin your husband.<br /><br />3. Your husband requests a new class date and you stay at your location longer. He will most likely have to pick a different MOS or a location to reenlist to move to. Either way, that class seat is gone forever.
