If this is the Soldiers' first deployment or mobilization then he/she wont receive any PDMRA Leave days. However, if this isn't the Soldiers' first deployment or mobilization then they should be able to use those days just as they would any normal leave days. I'm not sure how it works for deployment but i do know that the Soldier will be able to use those days instead of ordinary leave days while mobilized. My apologies if i didnt answer your question, but i saw this question as I was just submitting a DA 31 to use my PDMRA days before getting off AD. V/r, SGT Darris J. Butler SFC Nicholson,

The soldier would have to have been deployed or mobilized once before to receive PDMRA Leave. If this is the Soldiers’ first deployment or mobilization then he/she wont receive any PDMRA Leave days.

However, if this isn’t the Soldiers’ first deployment or mobilization then they should be able to use those days just as they would any normal leave days. I’m not sure how it works for deployment but i do know that the Soldier will be able to use those days instead of ordinary leave days while mobilized.

My 1st 2 deployments were with a NG unit (7FEB03 to 10FEB04 & 12JUN06 to 31AUG07. My 3rd (current) deployment is my 1st AC deployment (12NOV10 to ??NOV11). Do my previous deployments with NG count toward my PDMRA time? 2) If an AC Soldier deploys with a unit and upon return PCS to a new unit and is again deployed - let's say the dates are 01NOV07 to 01NOV08 & 12NOV10 to 12NOV11, can the new unit disregard the previous deployment when calculating the Soldier's PDMRA? If not and the S1 tries to disregard the previous deployment where can the Soldier get assistance? Thanks!!! I have 2 questions… 2nd question has 2 parts…

While in the WTU I went over my 18 years of active duty and applied for Sanctuary. I got accepted and was sent to Ft Hood, Tx 31 Jan 2011 to finish out my 20 year career. Once I signed into the company they told me I was deploying to Iraq and I left in Apr 11. How do I calculate my PDMRA and can I use it in conjunction with my terminal leave when I retire Aug 12?

Now I am deployed from 20110402 until 201204??, do I get those 54 days plus current deployment days or did I lost any of those days? And if so, for what reason?

I need to find the reference that says PDMRA can be used in conjunction with terminal leave or other leave. One platoon SGT in my unit is saying that PDMRA can only be used for block leave. Thank you. Does anyone know the actual regulation or DODi that covers PDMRA? I need to find the reference that says PDMRA can be used in conjunction with terminal leave or other leave.
