I am in the National Guard & extended during my 2nd tour.They calculated my PDMRA & regular leave. They are trying to send me home in time to use both types of leave before my orders end. Is the PDMRA supposed to be used after my orders end?I’ll be losing 2 months in country & sounds like it would affect my PDRMA calculations. Can tou clear this up for me?

i was authorized 24 days of leave based on the following dates: 27 jun 04 to 25 may 05 next deployment was: 6 oct 06 to 6 dec 07. acording to the calculator and based on my current deployment i will have earned about 27 days, does my S-1 have to substract the 24 days that i previously earned or do i qualify for the whole 27?

Is there a maximum number of accruable days for PDRMA leave?

I just recently returned from Afghanistan and earned 31 days of PDMRA, NOT including my regular Leave. I recieved my PDMRA at Finance during DEMOB. When they add your PDMRA it is the whole time your on title 10 from mob, tour, demob and leave. I had 16 months from Iraq 04-05 and just finished Afghan 08-09 for 13 months total. Both deployments were with the National Guard. So after 12 months you get 1 additional day and when you get to 18 you get 2.5 additional days. But they do not go back to your previous deployments and give you leave for them it is just add for the current deployment. I hope this helps.

A Soldier can use PDRMA in place of their charged RR leave.

For example, Soldier has earned 13 day PDRMA, takes 15 days RR from Iraq. Are only 2 days charged while deployed.
Or does he have to wait until he returns to use this leave.

If PDMRA balance is over 30days does the company commander sign off on it or does it have to go to the BDE SGM or commander

I don’t have acess to a calculator and don’t understand how my first deployment will be used for the calculation. Can you help me with a calculation:
Oct 01–Oct 02 OEF
Mar 06 – Apr 07 OIF
Jul 09 – Jan 10 OIF

How much PDHMA will I have at the end of Jan 10? Thank you
