A coworker's brother is in one of the support units in Qatar. He is coming home for leave ... but has had to pay for his own plane ticket.
From what I understand, there are limited 2 week or so leaves, doled out to those most in need (new parents, family crisis, or small business owners going under.) The airfare is paid to Baltimore, then the soldier picks up the tab to home. There is some legislation thats been introduced to pick up the whole travel cost.
