PIR Aug 25
Our son will graduate Aug 25 and is expected to go to GM A school.
I know there is a check in for school that same day.
I understand we will pick him back up after that and can spend Liberty with him
Do they return to base that same Friday night after PIR?
Are they allowed liberty on that next day (Sat) after PIR?
Are they allowed liberty Sunday after PIR?
asking so I can book flights and hotel accordingly.
Thank you!

Your Sailor will have liberty on Friday, after moving over to the TSC side, until approx 10pm. He will also have liberty from approx 6am to 10pm on Sat and Sunday. Your Sailor must return to base each night.
Sailors are briefed on time to be back and additional rules that apply for the weekend. Whatever time your Sailor is to be back to base each night plan on returning him back approx 45 minutes to an hour early. "In the Navy, on time is late."

Thank you for that information. Our son also has PIR & will be in A school in Great Lakes. I'm such the planner and the limited information had me a bit unnerved.

Now for more questions. He has a box of stuff he wants us to bring to him. Like his fishing pole, a blanket, odds & ends. Is he permitted to have items from home at that time?
Also, can he have his cell phone at the beginning of A school?

Ladybug71, yes, he can have his cell phone once he moves across the street. He most likely will not have time or room for the fishing pole. Yes, he can have the blanket. Check in the GL groups to see what is permitted.
