Hey everyone, I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum for this topic. However, I'm currently at SOI, was ITB. Got injured (double hernia), my surgery isn't until August 28, and the day of the surgery is the start of con-leave. I know con-leave is at the discretion of the chain of command, but my question is, will I be stuck on base for 14 days or will I be able to buy a ticket and fly home to recover those days?

You're in the right place----some guys who would know would be josephd, munkyvsrobot, LCPL1341, to name a few. If they don't happen to see this thread, PM each of them. There are other helpful folks, but these three come to mind immediately.

Inadvertently left out Kegler300, who is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, experienced.
Take a look at this profile and you'll see why I say that.
Not sure if he can help you, but PM him if he doesn't wander in here.
Good luck to you.

Convalescent leave is to heal up not to go home. you will probably be dropped from your platoon and pick up with a new one. Get caught going home and you could face an NJP or even up to AWOL because it isnt leave.

You will have to provide an address other than the barracks to stay in. As stated it is to heal and recover....you cannot lay around the shack and eat in the mess hall on convalescent leave. There is...

That's what I mean...he can go home ...but it is for recovery...not partying like annual or block leave.
