Airmen and their families now have more options for time off after the birth or adoption of a child. Previously, the Air Force authorized 12 consecutive weeks of maternity convalescent leave to those who gave birth. The new plan announced Friday by the service allows parents to coordinate leave time between primary and secondary caregivers in a way that is most beneficial to their living circumstances.
