Since your then Sailor is headed to San Antonio and will fly out, you will have from about 10:30 am when Liberty is called until sometime that evening, usually sometime between 7 and 9 pm. Your Sailor will know when he must be back for muster and you should drop him off about 30 minutes before so he has plenty of time to be back to his ship because "on time is late in the Navy!"
You will then be able to meet him at the airport and spend time with him there before he flies out. Send an index card to him a week or so before PIR to fill out with his flight details so you will know when and where to meet him to have the most time with him and give him his cell phone and a few other things.
See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) to help you know how to plan your weekend.

Thank you for the info! So odds are he will fly out some time Saturday? I found a flight home Saturday morning. Do you think he won't be flying out until later Saturday vs. early morning?

Yes, he will most likely fly out on Saturday. Sailors fly out at all hours on Saturday from very early in the morning to early evening. It all depends on flight availability.

You need to make your arrangements now. It would be best to leave late Saturday or on Sunday. He will not receive his flight details until the week of PIR.

Also, if we decide to catch the AM flight home that Saturday and do not see our Sailor off at the airport, can we still give him his cell phone etc. to bring to A school?

You would have to meet him at the airport in order to give those things to him. He cannot take his cell phone or many other things back to the RTC. You may be able to see him after he arrives at the airport and still have time to make your flight.
