my son got verbal orders toward the end of A school. they can also be changed at the last minute. his actual orders came after A school graduation.  They accumulate 2.5 days leave per month and are allowed to go up to 5 days back (or to the negative) Sometimes they can come home between stations too

James, they usually get verbal orders before they finish A school. My daughter got her verbal orders about a month before she graduated.
