Comment by abuon18 on May 9, 2012 at 2:07pm: Hi Vicki,

I bet you are so excited for PIR! It truly is a beautiful ceremony! As far as leave, he most likely will not get leave approved until he is San Diego. Like navymommo said, onec he gets to San Diego, depending on when his class is scheduled to start and how many leave days he has banked, he can request leave while he is on hold before his school starts. They are not allowed to go on leave during their class time. The STG base is usually very accomodating, and unless they do not have enough leave days saved or the days would overlap with school they will usually approve. My husband started A school immediately, but after he graduated A school in February, has been on hold since and does not start C school until the end of the month, so I think a safe bet would be after A school, like navymommo said! Congratulations!

Comment by navymommo on May 9, 2012 at 12:15pm: Welcome and congratulations! leave happened for my son after A school He will wait on "hold" after processing days at Point Loma until he classes up. This is dependent on how many sailors are there and ready to start- they start when they have enough- so this is not predictable. Leave happened for my son after he graduated from A school

Comment by VickiW Ship12 Div 147 PIR5/11 on May 9, 2012 at 11:30am: Just joining the group as my sailors PIR is this friday. She has a 6 yearl enlistment and will be in Great Lakes until around June 12th and then on to San Diego for A school and after that C school. Can anyone tell me when they are allowed to come home on leave?
