Thanks Dana, its a catch 22 the longer u wait to book the more expensive everything gets but dont want to waste money either.. Its hard to find places to rent in San Antonio. Theres 5 of us going so we are looking to rent a vacation home bc hotels want to charge you for two rooms..

Shannon, 

I can't remember how far into it,  but yes they can get weekend liberty at A school,  We went back to Chicago to see him, but each school has different rules I would  let him get settled before making plans so he can check on there rules..

Catmom 509.. 

I have a little bag with comfy for the room,  he asked for a hotel with Pool  &  hot tub,  he knows to bring his PT shorts to swim in,  is brother reminded him.  It was easier when his brother stayed at Great Lakes, I may do a little space bag to compact it good.  Everything is packed so he can dig threw it.. Thank you so much!!

When they get to A school are they allowed to get liberty on weekends? Where we could take him and keep him all night w us? Trying to book stuff and not having much luck on deals in Texas so thought about getting away from the san Antonio area a little to see if I could find something better..

Yeah, Dianne, that's what thought too, which is why it seems weird. I guess sometimes we can know more than they do about what is going to happen, but that's what he wrote in his letter. Guess I'll find out in about 12 days!!:-D

canalzone:  I just saw on your page that your sailor will be staying in GL for A School.  In that case, he should be moving over there on Friday after PIR, not Monday.

In the Family Guide on the RTC site, this is what it says:

Sailors transferring to Great Lakes "A" School

The Great Lakes A Schools are not located onboard Recruit Training Command.  Sailors attending A School in Great Lakes must check into their new command before they can go on liberty.  The check-in process can take up to 5 hours. Please ensure your sailor has your phone number so they can contact you once they have completed the check-in process.

canalzone:  Is he moving over to GL A School?  If so, they normally move over there after PIR, takes a few hours....they they have liberty with you through the weekend (daytime) and can return to their base each night with personal items. 

If flying out, it is rare for them not to leave on Saturday, sometimes Sunday.  But if he is for sure not leaving until Monday, then I would take his personal items up there for PIR weekend just in case his flight is earlier than Monday.  Then follow CatMom's post below.  Whatever won't fit into his backpack, you can bring back home and mail to him once he arrives at his A School.
