He was a holdover as it was a holiday weekend and a Thursday PIR so remained onboard RTC and had three days Liberty. He did have watch on Saturday in the middle of his Liberty which really ended it as far as him leaving base again. BUT we went onboard and met him in Ricky Heaven for chow and the last hour of it.
His watch was for two hours.
I hope your Sailor does not end up with watch misshp3div083! Will pray for it! That is difficult when you only have the one day :-(
We have seen that happen occasionally.

Just an FYI for you all that there is plenty to do and places to go within the 50 mile radius. So no worries...
We went to the Shedd Aquarium (though did not get in as it was crowded. It was a holiday weekend). So we ran over to another museum :-)
Had a real Chicago dog from a street vendor LOL.
Within the Liberty limit is:
Wrigley Field - 33 to 38 miles
Lincoln Park Zoo - 35 to 40 miles
Navy Pier (TONS of stuff) - 37 to 42 miles
Museum of Science and Industry - 44 to 45 miles
Shedd Aquarium - (which has a history museum nearby and possibly more) 38 to 42 miles
Jelly Belly Factory and Tours -16 to 20 miles
Sears Tower - 37 miles
All of the Airports for departure are within the 50 mile range with Milwaukee just coming under at 49 miles.
Closer to RTC is Six Flags (reopens in May), Gurnee mall, Libertyville.
So no worries if your Sailor wants to go sight seeing they have lots of choices. Some are tired like diannep and just want to relax...mine wanted to go, go, go! LOL

I agree ellen and I think it is time to move on as it is straying from the original question that has been addressed.

coachjb, I am sorry you feel that your SR was misled when she enlisted.
I will tell you to please be mindful of your actions and allow your Sailor to do what she thinks is right, this would be her "battle" if she chooses it, not yours.

I appreciate all you guys thought but the military is not above the law and if it take her not being kept I am sure she won't mine she was a correctional officer before she left went to college and police academy so believe me all she want right now is to find out her recruiter misled her I was in the office with her and she told h if there was something she found out was wrong she didn't want to stay Family means a lot and the military will always be there but her grandparents won't so that's more important and the family attorney says they should have told her that because that's important and she should have been told so we are perusing further and sometimes when a person fight back it put th on their toes just like the article I read about the hair they not doing her a favor she is in fact doing them a favor so if it takes them not wanting her to stay so be it she don't need to be in a dishonest government anyway

..also, it is best not to plan too much....your sailor may be tired and just want to relax for a while in your hotel room, catching up on her phone and laptop----my son wanted to take a long hot shower by himself, without shipmates around! HAA! . So maybe have some plans, but be flexible since each sailor is different in what they want to do!
