My son is a 2012 WP graduate, he is finishing up his BOLC in Va and will be stationed at ft hood. We are in Ohio. He is under the impression that when traveling from Ohio to Texas he is only permitted to drive 350 miles a day, that would make the trip 4 days. My understanding is that the Army will pay him for 350 mi a day but that he is not limited to only driving that amount. I know that on pass soldiers are only permitted to drive a certian distance from base depending on the number of days off, ie 3 day pass = 350 miles, 4 day pass= 450 miles. If he is correct in his understanding that means that he and his wife would never be able to drive home for extended leave for the holidays and what not because that would make it a 8 day trip for travel time.
I apologize if this seems like a silly question but he is so busy with training that he has not had time to clarafy and we are not an army family so all of this is new to us. Any direction you could send me would be helpful.
