My SR is graduating 7/17. His family and I booked our hotel rooms and I booked one for him and I. I then did more research and came across that he probably does not get to stay overnight with us. Is this true 100% of the time? My SR remaining in Great Lakes for training. Would this change anything? I asked a friend of mine who is in the Navy and went through boot camp a few years ago. He recommended I keep the hotel room until my Sr finds out more information. Does anyone know any more info?

There is no "probably" about it. Overnight Liberty is NOT authorized PIR weekend. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.

There has been no overnight Liberty since the spring of 2011.

Several years ago overnights were allowed, but that has changed. Absolutely no overnights PIR weekend for any of them. 

That is such a bummer. It makes me sad and angry but I am not surprised. It is too bad that a few mistakes sailors made during overnight liberty probably ruined it for future sailors. Thanks for the responses guys. Do you think I should keep my own hotel room for my SR and I to have or should his family and I just keep the one room?

NO, it was a matter of making the practice the same for all graduating Sailors since Overnight Liberty is not authorized until the Sailors phase up to Phase III several weeks after PIR. It is totally up to you what you do. He will have daytime Liberty every day of the weekend.

Hi Bronco14

My son graduated in 1/2015 and went directly into A School GL

Your Sailor is not allowed to stay overnight. After PIR graduation, they check into A school at Great Lakes., then you can pick him up to visit, however they then return to school, around 10 pm. They get liberty Saturday and Sunday, approximately from around 6:30 am to 10 or 11 PM. In addition, it is not recommended to stay at the Navy Lodge or Great Lakes Lodge, since they are considered Navy Base hotels, and unless they get a "CHIT”, they might not be able to visit freely. I stayed at the Marriot Courtyard, which was great, friendly, very clean, and close to everything
