Comment by Freese71 on April 3, 2012 at 6:43pm: FTLW Thanks for clearing that up!!!! That's what I said, didn't Fiqure they could..

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 3, 2012 at 6:16pm: The question about whether or not Sailors may leave the airport after check in and before their flight was asked on the RTC FB page today. Here is the Q and A:

Question -

RTC - Once our SR's are at the airport, can they leave and return prior to their trip or do they have to stay until they leave. If their flight allows a little time to get away, it would be great to do something other than hang at the airport.

Answer -

U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command The recruits are traveling on Navy orders and going to "check out the city" is not part of those orders. The recruits know what the rules are regarding this. The Navy transports them to the airport where they are to remain until the time of their flight. Recruits who are leaving are putting themselves at great risk. They are on official orders that day, not liberty.

Comment by Freese71 on April 3, 2012 at 10:35am: 10 days and counting!!!!! Glad I'm not the only excited one...LOL
