If there is no phase 3 at Lackland, then it is something fairly new. If so, someone screwed up and they're punishing everyone. It happens and it sucks.
Phase 3 do need a liberty buddy, but they can put in a chit for a spouse or family member to be the buddy. I didn't see your status, sorry if that doesn't help.
Has she checked in yet? Once she gets her duty rotation, you can plan ahead a bit better. Her school is rather short though, so you may have to make do with phase two daytime visits. My friend went there quit some time ago, her husband did go visit, but I don't recall if she stayed off base on the weekend. I got the impression she did, but again, this was several years ago.

Jason, by the rules, yes, they must be together at all times. And yes, it can be a lot of trouble when they do not. I'll send a friend request ....

Navywife, if you have a military ID, you probably do not need the gate pass, although it will speed things up. Should be a fairly painless process.

Hi you all,
My Husband was UA for 17 days, he had TAD orders but decided not to report in until the 17th day prior to his report in date. His ship is already aware of the situation. What consequences could he face? Thank you!

Yes, he was suppose to check in on Jan 9th & didn't check in until the 26th of Jan!

UA is a serious offense. He just didn't go? He is in trouble, they will not treat this as a minor mistake.
He will be subject to either a Captain's Mast (non-judicial punishment, only matters to the military) or a court-martial, which has consequences in the civilian world as there is a judge.
The very least I would expect is restriction (up to 45 days), loss of rank (down one or two paygrades), loss of pay (a month or two worth), and potentially confinement (but maybe not). If he goes to court-martial, he could be given a bad conduct discharge, which means he cannot hold certain jobs in the future as it it is a felony. That is worst case though, so he likely will just get restriction, busted down a stripe, and pay a fine. My best guess based on experience.
They could choose to do nothing, but that would be really unlikely.

P. SIMMONS, Military Lawyer
Sir, the first thing to keep in mind is that while the DRB is an administrative hearing, if you present evidence, that evidence can be used in a later proceeding. So, for example, if you testify at the DRB and they decide to send the case to a court, your testimony at the DRB can be used at court.
The other thing you want to understand is that before the Naval drug lab reports a positive on a urine test, that test goes through a GCMS test. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GCMS) is basically a chemical fingerprint of the substance. It is not the same as an assay test, which tend to not be accurate (for example, many commercially available over the counter medications and supplements can cause a positive screening on an assay test but will screen negative for GCMS testing)
I am not a forensic pathologist...but that is what you need.
If your goal is to fight this you really need to talk to a forensic pathologist to see if the substance you took can screen positive in a GCMS testing for Serax.
IF that is the case? Then that is what you want to present at the DRB
Be careful though...if you go to the DRB and claim you never took Serax but took _____ (whatever it is you took) you can bet that the commander will consult with a forensic pathologist (there is at least one at every Naval hospital) to see if that is possible. If it is not? Then you may well find yourself facing additional charges of false official statement.
On the other hand, if you contact a forensic pathologist? And they can confirm that the substance you took will test positive for Serax in GCMS testing? Then you are set.
BotXXXXX XXXXXne: I would not make a statement at the DRB unless/until you can confirm whatever it was you took can test for Serax in a GCMS screening test. My guess is the answer is no...but there are exceptions since many drugs are derived from plants...just make sure you have a basis for the claim before you raise it...if you do not and are wrong, you may find yourself in worse trouble than you started with

She should be able to go with him to Pensacola as she should be on his orders. But I have seen where some wives stay in their hometowns until their husbands are finished with schooling and have their orders for their first duty station :)

Paige, the DRB is where they review your sailor's infraction, and decide whether to proceed with Captain's Mast, at what level, or if they are going for a CourtsMartial.
Just because the orders were TAD, for a limited time away from his main command, does not make them any less important or "real" than orders which are a change of duty station. He had a place to be, at a specific time, and he chose not to go. I do not know why he made that choice, but it was an extremely poor decision.

Good morning, Queenknight. Welcome!
Allison is correct regarding moving to A school, unless she is on the orders, and the school is over 20+ weeks, then it is better financially to stay where she is. You can google the seat time for what rating he will be, as that is what they base Accompanied vs. Unaccompanied orders on. Be aware that he will be there longer than any stated seat time, but hold times waiting to class up does not count. Right now there is not much she can do except find as much current information as possible. Always look at the date and source of what she is told. You will find that dependents can only do so much, and "hurry up and wait" is going to be part of her new normal.
Here is the COOL site where you can find the length of A schools. Let me know if you need specific help and I can try.

Congrats! My husband and I just recently had a baby boy and the process was fairly easy. I had him in a civilian hospital though so sometimes they do more of the paperwork for you when you're in a military hospital. But after we had him we had to take his birth certificate to the ID station on base and register him with Deers. After his social security card came in the mail we had to take that to the ID office as well. Your baby will basically be covered on Prime for the first 60 days after he's born automatically but it's up to you to call and enroll him in Prime permanently after he's born (if you want him to be on Prime). You can also call TriCare and they will walk you through the process and steps you need to take after the baby is born.
