You mean for PIR? As far as I know they took overnight liberties away from all graduating SR's in April, regardless of where their family is staying. My husband graduated in September and it was true up to then.

I think they just have to be there to check you in? From what I have heard he cannot stay overnight. I know there are ppl who have stayed at Navy Lodge wo the sailor staying there. Worst case call the lodge ask the policy. Usually liberties are taken away bc they are abused. That was probably the case or the fact that it was an opportunity they couldnt afford to all sailors so chose to take it away.

You can stay at the Lodge and check in without your sailor if you tell them you are there for graduation. Great Lakes is the only Navy Lodge where this is possible.
As for the liberty policy, there were all these brand new sailors on unrestricted overnight liberty straight out of boot camp going nuts, stuff like underage drinking, flying home when they were supposed to stay within 50 miles, lots of abuses. Then they'd hit their training command and be on Phase One liberty where they had to earn their overnight privileges. The CO closed that PIR overnight loophole. I don't see them changing it back anytime soon.
As for what your SR was told, there may be someone with old information, maybe he'd heard it from his recruiter who doens't know the new policies, maybe he heard "on base" and thinks the Navy Lodge counts. It doesn't, it really isn't on base.
And yes, one sailor messes up, everyone can potentially be punished and lose privileges.

man my husband was so shell shocked upon graduating he wouldnt do anything wrong lol! It was funny coming from him... he likes to break little rules like he hates his seatbelt but wore it. I guess all guys deal with it differently. One car almost side swiped us into a semi and all he could say was dont get in a wreck because they make me fill out a lot of paperwork back at the base.. I said "I dont think if we are smashed into the side of a semi going 70 you will be able to fill out paperwork, and he said "they told us its a lot of paperwork" smh lol

Actuallly yes it is a lot of paper work he would have to do once he gets healed up and back on base

lol I figured it would be I just thought it was funny bc my friend and I were thinking we almost died and he was just like you know how much paperwork I would have to fill out.
