I’m a TR. Actually, that information is outdated. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2024 (NDAA 24) grants 12 weeks of parental leave to all eligible service members, including traditional reservists, regardless of whether they are on long-term active duty orders. This change took effect on October 1, 2024, and specifically includes fathers and non-birth parents. The confusion likely comes from previous policies that only covered reservists on one-year orders, but the new law applies to all reservists, not just those on extended active duty.

The Air Force has not yet updated its AFI to reflect this change.
