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.
Early reporting authorized means you don't have to take as much PCS leave, if you don't want to. For example, there are 30 days between old duty station and new duty station. With early reporting authorized, you could go on leave for 15 days and then go to your new unit 15 days early.
