Time off to move after DP 1.2?

[visitor]

I hope someone can answer this, a search turned up nothing. How much time, at all,  is given  to allow a new infantry officer who has finished Phase 4: DP 1.2  to move to go home, pack and move to new posting? Is this "vacation" or a paid time?  Does this happen right after DP 1.2 is over?  Thanks.

It has been my experience that under normal circumstances a typical posting would give a mbr 10 days leave, 5 on either end of the posting (plus however many days one is entitled to based on the distance of the move for travel from point A to point B).

I seem to recall that being the case of others that just completed Phase training as well. (we were "lucky" and got posted to the school directly after phase)

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

CAW

Thank you everyone. It is my son who will be posted and he does not yet know where he is going.  But now we know to free up  about a  week after he finishes to help him.  Thanks again.
