Maximum military leave while on title 10...

True/False: If you are on title 10 orders, in support of contingency, that you are not limited to 5 years of mil leave. In other words, unlimited mil leave.

I've been digging for a sure answer, but can't find any solid confirmation.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response! I found the above as well, however, my orders do not have the same statement as yours. But I take it, since it's for OIF, I'm covered by part B?

I don't think your orders have to say what mine did exactly but they should say you are in support of OIF or OEF. If you want more just have your admin make an ammendment to clarify.
