**Sophie GKS** · 07-14-2012, 12:50 PM

Believe it or not I have tried for the last 10minutes to find this out on Google

DH doesnt know either

How long is COT leave (Airforce)?

Thanks

I have not idea what COT leave is, but i giggled cause Shane just asked if he could put away the cot (bed for the daycare kids). I said "leave it alone" cause I saw you say COT leave. oops.

I think it stands for 'continuous overseas tour'

some (free???) leave you get to go 'home'.

Makes sense. Well I hope he gets a lot, and well, I told Shane I was wrong and he could put the cot away. He looked at me crazy.

I think it goes off of how much leave he has available, how much the shop will let him go, just like regular leave. The COT part is really the money that is being used to get you there and back. Does that make sense?

The leave itself is chargeable and depends upon how much leave he has to take. The AF pays for the plane tickets but the member has to use his/her own leave.

HTH!

I seeee thanks ladies...after 10 freakin years in the AF you'd think DH *might* know this

guess not

we took 30 days, and it is based on what he has and what the command will allow him to take.

Is that usually the gaining command, not the one he's leaving?

DH's depended on the losing command and when they'd let him leave. He just had to show up by the report no later date.

Ditto! but for us we did our back to back in the same area, same base, so it was easy to set up
