Christmas Exodus - Military Boot Camp

mogaswife · 10-27-2009, 10:39 PM

Ok DH is going to be at Ft. Leonard Wood for AIT from Nov.-Feb. Has anyone ever heard of or has your SO's ever gotten somthing called Christmas Exodus during the holidays? I was just reading about it and its somthing like they could possible take 10 or so days to go home during Christmas. Has anybodies SO ever done this?? If this is true, I am soo pumped.!

Yep there is such a thing. My DB did OSUT (its BCT and AIT together at Ft Benning). He did OSUT from OCT-FEB.

He was able to take dec. 22-Jan 6 for exodus. But it does come out of his leave days (not sure if that is the right term or not)

This is what is suppose to happen with DF at Ft benning as well. But he heard rumors they only get one week...so who knows. I can't wait for it though!!

Well I mean it's not for the people going through OSUT, it is for everyone who works on post. They have families too. So most likely he will be home for christmas and new years. It just depends.

Oh gosh, I am glad you are happy, but if it doesn't happen...I dont want to be the cause of disappointment. I am not familiar with where he is, so all I am saying is that it is a big possibility.

Your SO will know when the time comes. I think mine found out for sure about exodus around thanksgiving, but didnt know the exact dates until a week before.

It wont be your fault if it doesnt happen girl. It will be my fault for getting all excited when I know dang well the army can make changes at any second. I am just happy I have something to hope for now. thanks again for your help
