Good morning Bulldawgs! What are your questions about Holiday Block Leave? Post in the comments below and we will answer the best we can.
Some FAQ:
Can I pick up my Soldier?
Yes! Soldiers may be picked up at the barracks by an immediate family member via POV starting at 1500 on 20 December 2024. Please have a valid drivers license, proof of insurance, and registration with you upon arrival. You will also need a visitors pass to access post.
Can my Soldier drive while on holiday block leave?
No. Your Soldier is still in IET status while on holiday block leave and should not drive. They should also not partake in alcohol or drugs during their leave period.
What must my Soldier wear while traveling?
Soldiers traveling on HBL must be in uniform IAW AR 670-1 while traveling for HBL. The current prescribed uniform is OCPs. They should only be traveling directly to and from their travel locations while in uniform and represent the U.S. Army at all times.
When must my Soldier be back?
HBL ends 4 January 2025, which means your Soldier MUST be back at the Battery by this date. Purchased flights are not to be rescheduled or cancelled and any changes in travel circumstances must have command approval.
Who can I contact if something happens while my Soldier is traveling/on holiday block leave?
In case of emergency, you can contact our staff duty at 580-442-2091.
We look forward to the upcoming holidays and giving our hardworking Bulldawgs some well deserved time off!
