Paytonshana - typically a new sailor may get the weekend off with a lot of restriction after graduation but it depends on if he is staying in GL for school or if he is going to be sent to another state immediately for A school. If they fly him out he could leave the same day as graduation or a day or two later and this is referred to as Grad and Go.
A schools do holiday stand down, the dates have not been released yet but it would be fair to expect him to come home for the holidays. This is one time of the year that they will allow sailors to go in the hole for leave (vacation) time.
With two years of school, I'm curious is he going into the Nuke program or Advanced Electronics?
AECF stays in GL and Nukes go to Charleston.

He is going to be a electrition. GL for his schooling and from my understanding we have heard school may even be shorter then what they said.
lol Yeah i plan on visiting him for thaksgiving if he cannot come home

Paytonshana --- sounds like he is going to be an ET so you may want to join us at...
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/fcsfirecontrol
The group is for ETs (electronic techs) and FC (fire control). They spend their first year in GL for school (give or take a few days) and then move to another state for their C school. He is going into a great job with lots of schooling on the front end.

There are always last minute changes, too. When my son PIRd he was supposed to have 12 hours, but that turned into grad and go at almost the last minute.
-
-
is it typically certain rates that are grad & go? how do they determine who is grad & go?
-
-
yeah thats a good question.
