Sailors, Marines to Get an Extra Week of Leave to Welcome New Baby

Marines and sailors will get an additional week of leave to bond with their new baby or adopted child under announcements from the services on Monday.

The maximum amount of leave for "secondary caregivers" increased from 14 days to 21 days effective Feb. 11, according to administrative messages released by the Navy and the Marine Corps.

Once known as paternity leave, secondary caregiver leave is usually for the parent who did not give birth, although military families have leeway to designate who are the primary and secondary caregivers.
