Eligibility: The child must be 4 years of age by August 31st of their Pre-Kindergarten year. Children selected for participation should qualify as evidenced by multiple criteria (developmental screening, parent observation and teacher observation). Schools of choice and employee requests are non-applicable.
Lack of funding alone is not a basis to deny funded emergency leave travel. Emergency leave may be requested with or without American Red Cross verification. Soldiers may be authorized emergency leave for up to 30 days for emergency situations within the immediate family.
Except for emergency leave, the first leave taken after reenlistment shall be considered reenlistment leave and should normally begin immediately upon reenlistment. However, it may be delayed so as to begin upon completion of a course of instruction that begins within 30 days of reenlistment or upon transfer from an overseas station incident to the service member's reenlistment.
