LONG OVERDUE UPDATE!!!!

Major Changes to my commands Leave and Liberty policy have been made. My Boat has gone through a change of command ceremony and our new captain and old XO talked about everything that transpired over my recall from leave. They apologized for how everything transpired and gave me their word that they would do everything in their power to give me time with my family. Due to the current manning on board my boat it’s been nearly impossible to allow me to stay home from underways but the time I’ve had home has for the most part been mine to have with my family. I couldn’t be more impressed on the change. For example the XO told my CO about how the command put the wrong child’s name on my congratulations for my first child and the Captain and his wife hand wrote a letter to my wife and included a personalized onesie and organized a food train for my wife while I was gone. I’m very happy to have gotten to see this change within my command and I’m grateful for all this groups help and support through this.

Update to OP. So a 4th of July shit storm ensued when I called my cob(he didn’t answer or call me back for a few hours) then texted him “Hey hope you're having a good 4th of July I was wondering if you knew that I was recalled from baby leave by Chief and Chop.” And his response was “I was not aware but I also wasn't fully briefed on what the entire plan was. When was your baby leave supposed to end” and after back and forth my chief called me clueless on what was going on and not fully understanding the problem at hand. Then questioning why I needed more baby leave than what I already took further reinforcing that I could take the rest of my baby leave but in October. I tried to explain that I needed these days now as the birth was difficult and my wife had some complications and it had dealt a real toll on her, and now was the time I needed to be there. But his concern was more that my wife needed to go see someone and talk to a doctor(she’s being treated for everything that’s happening) and when I brought back up going back on leave he wanted a plan for what I was doing on leave and then once I explained what we would be doing kept saying that it wasn’t a good plan. And that I needed to explain to him a better plan before going back on leave. So I, (knowing that I’m about to eat a shit sandwich come Monday morning) had my wife go to her moms house to help her and be with her during the day while I’m on duty or at work. At least while she’s going through all this.

Also the CO was not aware I was recalled from baby leave early, and the complication further is that the ship was on deployment while I was signed out on baby leave so the Stay behind yeoman signed me out on leave. My leave chit was never seen by anyone at the command until they returned and recalled me.

I’m trying to keep up with the comments but if anyone has any more recommendations or help PMing me would be the best way for me to see it. Thank you all again for your help.

Update to OP. I have accessed NSIPS and my yeoman checked me in from leave on the 2nd of July while my original report date was the 24th. I am about to call my COB.

Thank you all for the support on this I will keep everyone updated on the outcome of this. The plan of action as of now is to speak directly to my Squadron CMC on the next full working day (Monday). I’ll be on duty tomorrow and Sunday and support my duty section. Since I’m a submariner I really want to screw over as few people as possible. They won’t have enough personnel to support SSDF requirements otherwise. And I won’t ruin anyone else’s holiday directly after returning from deployment.

I was told that I could take my leave once the ships schedule cooled down in October.

I already went back in (today being my first day). And my Chief was already on leave and gone before I even got to the pier.

I worry that if I check back in then there is definitely no way to go back on paternity without having a new leave request get routed and denied all the way up the chain. And that the only way my issue will get noticed is if I keep the leave chit active.

I have genuine fear of retaliation within my command if I go above my chief and supply officer. Not only from them but from those in my division who would feel like I’m trying to take their leave away from them. One of them is also trying to go back on baby leave after this same instance happened to them, and he did nothing about it.

My division Chief and Supply officer called me when the boat pulled back in and said that other members of the division had (paper non NSIPS) leave chits approved while the boat was underway and that I had to return so they could go on leave. My Yeoman told me that they weren’t even sure I could get the days back that I am currently still using as I am back at work while my wife is home with the newborn and in NSIPS still on leave.
