Just curious on when u think he'll be home, bc i need to call off work either tomorrow or monday, getting super excited to see him after 10 months :) hope you guys can help me out.. God bless you all!!!

Answer 1

It took me about 60 hours from the time I left BIAP.  He will most likely have a stay in Germany or Ireland.  When I was on R&R I bloged about it and wrote a time table.  If you want detail information on how my trip back home visit

Answer 2

It can take a day or two sometimes more / Wait to call in to work he will call you when he can to let you know when he'll be there. Phone availability, plane schedules, other briefings, military bull can cause unexpected changes. Good Luck and enjoy you time

Answer 3

It could take a day or it could take a couple of days.  They will fly him through Germany or Ireland typically before entering the states.  When my husband came home on R&R he had a 8 hour lay over in Ireland and a 13 hour lay over in Atlanta before coming home.  I was able to call Delta and get his flight changed to an earlier one from Atlanta to Ohio at minimal cost with no issues.  He was home in a day and a half after leaving Kuwait.  If you can get his itinerary before he leaves that would be helpful.

Answer 4

He will get home when he gets there...enjoy your time together ...GOD Bless

Answer 5

He could already be on his way and never got a chance to call back, or it could be a week from now (but if it takes that long, I'm sure he'll call before then).  Usually it takes around three days for them to get through Kuwait and get to Atlanta, but some of my friend's husbands have taken longer, and actually, one of my friends husband's got back in 24 hours and completely suprised her.  I'd say make sure your boss understands the situation so you can take off work as soon as you know something for sure.  HAVE FUN ON R&R!!!  

Answer 6

When my hubby came home for R&R a few weeks ago, he had 20 hours of actual flying time starting from Kuwait. Add to that hours for layovers/refuel....it took about 36 hours from the time he actually left Kuwait.
