...he is going to go visit? When a person is requesting vacation while serving in another country - Do they have to have a family memeber or a friend fill out forms specially if they live in different states? Does the person that is doing the filing have to pay for anything?
The said person knows I have no money, and so does the banks. No one is getting anything from me. I just wanted to be sure. Thanks a bunch.
 
Every serviceman aquires 2.5 days of leave a month or 30 days of leave a year. The serviceman requests leave through his unit. Based on training, deployments, and unit status, the unit may or may not grant his/her leave request. While on leave the serviceman will pay for everything out of pocket. The ONLY time a family member gets involved in the process is for emergency leave, which the family has to process through the American Red Cross.
 
The soldier files out a request to take leave during the time desired. He or she needs to fill out where they will be and they should have a phone number or contact information so that his chain of command can get a hold of him in the event of an emergency. Some commands will make the soldiers show proof of valid transportation if the soldier is going back to the states so that they know that the soldier can make it back to his duty station on time. This should not cost anything for the person at home.
 
I see you have been talking to a Nigerian scammer posing as a US military person asking you to fill out paperwork on his behalf and send him money to come home on leave (vacation) or home from Iraq/A-stan early. Congrats...your the 40th woman on here today for the same thing.

Everyone in the military gets 30 days of leave (vacation) a year earned at 2.5 days per month. In addition they get paid every two weeks by direct deposit. While deployed they get this pay, along with hazardous duty and combat pay as well as NO taxes which equals several hundred to thousands more per month than normal. And they have little to nothing to spend it on. This pay gets direct deposited into a bank of their choice which they have full access to while deployed.

They don;t need money for a ticket, nor do they have to pay someone to file for leave, and there isn;t a way to pay to come home early.

You are being scammed.
 
The leave paperwork is filled out by the soldier then turned in to his supervisor. The supervisor will then gives it to the commander who then either approves the leave request or disapproves it.

If the soldier is deployed then he will return on 'mid-tour leave.' For mid tour leave the paperwork is filled out for the soldier and his airfare is paid for by the government all the way to the nearest airport to his home or any leave address inside the US.

No _real_ US servicemember will ask you to fill out forms or pay any kind of fee. In fact the only people who will do this are Nigerian scammers.

And any claims that he does not have access to his money are pure BS. If he has access to the internet then he also has access to online banking.
 
No, the AD member fills it out themselves and submits it to their command, the person/family/friends they are visiting does nothing.

Let me guess you met a person online who says they are in the military and needs you to fill out the leave form for them to submit to visit you. It will say you have to submit it to a .com website, has 2 places to sign at the bottom where one is a Command Officer probably female. There will be lots of spelling mistakes on it as well. There is a scam going on with people who are passing themselves off as being in the military, they meet ladies on websites around the world, send you flowers & gifts, shortly afterwards asking for money either to send to a family member or to take leave or to get a telephone. None of these are correct and the scam is running out of Nigeria and other countries.
