Navywife - I posted this on IT A schoolers, but maybe you'll see this first. My boyfriend has been in P'Cola since April 23rd and is starting classes today. The weekends, FOR HIM, have been VERY laid back. He's woken up at whatever time he wants, the first weekend there, they grilled out, and this past weekend they went to the beach. So, technically you could go see him, but you can't go to his barracks, stay the night, and he couldn't stay the night with you. You would have the day time on weekends. I wouldn't go down there his first weekend, either. When Michael was in boot camp he mentioned the same thing to me, but they need that time to get acquainted with their roommates and getting settled. You can move down there, but on your own dime and he wouldn't be able to live with you except for weekends (in phase 3) and you could see him during the day as long as he doesn't have class or duty. If I lived closer to P'Cola (I'm in NC - 12 hour drive), I would move down there or definitely would stay at an extended stay hotel for the summer (I'm a teacher). It would be worth it. :\ But, anyways, hope this helps!

I know the routine at Great Lakes, so I'm assuming P-Cola will be simliar.
He will have to earn his phase two liberty to go of base and wear civilian clothes. 22 weeks? He needs to ask TODAY if he is eligible for Live Ashore status. He can request to live off base with you if his training is long enough. Since you were married before boot camp, he may well have accompanied orders to his school. The only way he will know is to ask. And ask again to get the correct information.
