When a USMC / Marine might come home?
An aquaintance of mine from Connecticut joined the Marines and was deployed in August of last year. He is not a combat Marine and came home for a visit in December. Does anyone know when Marines usually get "time off" to return home? Are marines given set vacation times or do they get to choose when to take vacation time? I lost contact with him but I am curious when he might be back again. Thanks!
If he's deployed to Iraq or overseas somewhere then they don't come home unless they're gone for a really long time, like 14 months. My husband is deployed for 6 to 7 months and the only way I get to see him is via web cam.
But from the way you're talking, it doesn't sound like he's deployed, just at his duty station. If it's in Okinawa, he'll be gone for a year, with a break about 6 months through.
If he's here in the states, that's completely different. The marines get 96's (96 hours off) on "bank" holidays. Usually they run from Friday til Monday, but if the holiday is on Monday, it may run until Tuesday or Wednesday depending on who he is with. They check in on Friday morning, and then in the evening of their last day.
He is allowed to leave during this time, but he must be within 750 miles of the base. He can also take leave whenever he wants, but he has to earn leave time, which he earns 2 1/2 days per month. And the military has to let him go.
