He's in aviation machinist. And from what he said he said he's not going to c school from what he was told he said they told him he would get leave after he got his orders and then go to where his orders take him. He told me that if he can't get the leave over the holiday stand down then it's okay that he rather have his leave after graduation. And yes I do know already they are on hold before by class up.

It depends on his orders after A school and where he is going some go straight to C school or duty, many go home for a leave and can work RAP for up to 5 days to earn time back...plus there's hold times before classing up.....what's his rating?

Okay so if he gets there 11/17 will he be able to take some leave in the holiday stand down and also be able to take his leave after he has graduated a school. Or does it just depend. And his school is for 4 weeks. But from what I know he will more then likely be on hold for atleast two weeks until he classes up.

Depends on the training program and how much time they have saved up....some are in Pcola for 6-12 months for their training so at 2.5 days a month that adds up....then you can work RAP when at home and get the time added back ....:)

These dates are close to what dates kanucone posted too, Moms from last year said they had time off at the holidays last year too:

This is what was on the BC group about holiday stand down( from lemeonelephant): "your then Sailor will check in at his "A" School and fill out a chit and will be able to take about 10 days of leave sometime over the holiday stand-down period. All of the "A" Schools observe a holiday stand-down around Christmas and the New Year.  For most "A" Schools it will be at the close of business on the 12/20/2013 through 01/05/2014. That is the only time that Sailors are able to take Leave before the end of "A" School or training and one of the only times that a command will allow Sailors to go into the hole on leave days."

"Sailors earn 2.5 days of leave for each month of service beginning with the day they are sworn in at MEPS on the way to the RTC. They usually are not allowed to take more Leave than they have accrued, but they can usually take up to 10 days of Leave over the holiday stand-down, which may result in them "going in the hole" (taking more days than they have on the books). Sailors who do that may not have earned back enough days to take Leave again at the end of "A" School depending on how long the "A" School is. All Sailors who are already in "A" School before the holiday stand-down will be offered an opportunity to put in a chit to take Leave for part of the holiday stand-down."

Hope so ...for all you "A" school...mommas!

Note: Southwest airlines is having a sale, check them out for flights they now have flights leaving PNS going non-stop to Houston and Nashville for more connection then just going thru Atlanta....could $$ you money on flights, plus they will let you make changes for no service fee, which is usually $200-250.

But someone told me that if they leave for Christmas that their leave after graduation will be so short since they are taking a leave on the Christmas break. So some don't come home because of that. If someone knows different we could use some help.

Welcome..

You might want to start by reading a couple of pages back to learn some basics about Pcola, there's another Pcola group it has several discussions on the top about the bases (4 of them), the area (tips for visiting) and training (over 700 courses) in Pcola, might be worth a pop over to the group too, I read both.:)   http://navyformoms.com/group/sailorsinpensicolaflforaschool
