Question about Great Lakes A School
Hello Ladies, so I know that the ones with A school in Great Lakes won't have overnight liberty after PIR but will they ever earn it? If so how long would that take?? Me and my husband want to be close to each other ASAP so I am planning on moving out to Chicago sometime in January, I know that by that time it maybe too early for him to be allowed to live off base but I'm hoping maybe by then he can at least have overnight weekend liberty. Does anyone know if that's possible??
Also does anyone know if their A school is close to the Navy Lodge? I know that we have to sign them back in when we spend the day with them after PIR, it'll just be me and my daughter so I just want to get an idea of how far we would have to travel at night when we drop him off by his curfew.

Here is the link to the TSC liberty policy and the phasing, this would be without a request to "live ashore". Phasing is earned and can vary time wise as to when they phase up, and be taken away or reduced for violations. The first phase takes 2-3 weeks before phasing to phase II. I believe at Phase II (approx two weeks after arriving on base and time can vary) your sailor can request to "live ashore", but it must be approved.

The Navy Lodge is approx 2.5 miles from the base, traveling to the base is not the issue, it is the time to get on the base and to his ship that can be the problem. If you check him out of his ship (which you must do on Sat and Sun), you must also check him in. Remember on time is late.
With your gate pass from PIR, you may be able to drive your husband back to his ship, but this is at the discretion of the security at the main gate. I recommend arriving at the main gate no later than 45 minutes prior to his required time back, which can vary from 8pm to 10pm, your husband will know the time. If he must walk back to his ship, you must go with him because you will have checked him out (you must check him back in), it is a distance from the gate to his ship, allow yourselves plenty of time to do so.
