AR 600-8-10
This is an Essay by me, PV2 Craig D. Caudill, on AR 600-8-10, leaves and passes.

About Convalescent leave:
Convalescent leave is not a chargable form of leave, and is designed to expedite a soldiers return to full mission caplability after such things as surgery, illnesses, or other job related injuries. It is the hospital commander or designee, who is the approval authority for Convalescent leave of less than 30 days. Anything greater than 30 days must go through the hospital commander.
