hi..
i got few doubts as my spouse is joining US navy boot camp for training..

30 days after A school is not going to happen. He will have orders to C school, and will be authorized around two weeks either between schools, or between C school and their first command. I have never seen the full 30 days given between commands, not for new sailors headed to their first command. Later in his career, yes, but not right away.
A sailor who has just arrived at a first command will not get to take leave right away. They will want him to settle in, start working on his qualifications... take up the slack so guys who have been there longer can take leave.
If the ship is getting ready to deploy, he won't be authorized leave. He will be busy, as the ship will be busy.
Leave during the deployment? I don't think you are asking the correct question. When a ship is deployed, it is at sea, with a few port visits. NO ONE takes regular leave during a deployment (could be 6~10 months). AFTER, yes, they try to give the sailors a bit of time off. Two weeks normally, but usually not the full 30.. Most ships need the sailors not to take all their time at once...two weeks is more flexible, and they ar more likely to get the shorter time approved a couple times a year. It could happen the other way, but in my experience, that 30 days is not the norm.
The times I was able to take 30 days, I was between commands, on overseas orders. I burned ,y leave days while stateside.

Why are you soo worried about leave? If you are maried, aren't you going to be moving with him? You will see him ever night unless they are underway or he has duty. Youcan even move with him to his "A" School if he is going AECF, or Nuke.
