my brother's girlfriend is having a baby very soon. would he be allowed to leave basic (or it may even run into his AIT time) for the birth??

yes - however - unless they have changed the regulations, he would have to start over again. Of course - there may be certain considerations if he's like in week 6-7 of an 8 week basic (assuming Navy/Army)

Like he didn't know when the birth would be before he entered basic. Sounds like ill planning on his part. No, he will not get to go home, nor should he be allowed to. My goodness, how can we expect him to plan enemy movements that are going to take place in 15 minutes if he can't plan on a birth he has know about for at least 6 months. Time to learn responsibility.

I don't believe so because they don't even recognize the child as his yet. They would need a paternity test to recognize the child as a dependent and put into the system. As a matter of fact they wouldn't recognize the girlfriend either.

No, he probably won't, especially since she's not even his wife. The military doesnt really care about you unless you are married, and even then its iffy. I've known many women who have given birth without their husbands. Its just a part of military life.

There was a guy in my platoon whose wife delivered during boot camp. He wasn't allowed to leave, but he was able to make a phone call.

No, sorry. he signed-up (more like signed-away) his freedoms. to "protect ours", he will probably get leave after AIT training (undesignated Seaman, Airman, or Fireman? that was his second mistake, after enlisting)

When my hubby's friend was in bootcamp (they were in the Navy together) he was not allowed to leave bootcamp to see his daughter be born. Your brother may not either.

Its up to his drill sargeant or company commander....Most times they won't unless its a death in the family. A lot of the guys in Iraq can't always come home when their wives deliver.

nope. only if he were married and if there was a problem with the birth.. as in life or death. as far as the military is concerned, the GF doesn't exist.

He needs to talk to his superiors when the time comes. It's up to them. They can say yes or no. They might make him cycle through for a second time or let him continue.
Not a very helpful answer, I know, but it depends on so many factors (including whether or not any of his superiors are having a bad day).
