Sailors will not get leave after BC, but may get some leave after A School. Leave after A School totally depends on if they are heading out to the fleet after graduation, have their orders for C School and a long time delay before starting, or at the discretion of command.
RAP duty or Recruit Assistance Program, is something that sailors who are on "regular leave" between school (whether A School, C School or Apprenticeship Training) and their first permanent duty station students can take advantage of. If they are granted leave and come home they can work at the local recruiting station for up to five days. The days worked at the recruiters are non-chargable leave time and will be credited back.
Leave is considered "regular leave" when it is not taken at a base stand down time. So, if your sailor is eligible for RAP he/she cannot use it during Holiday Stand Down.
I hope that makes sense...

I'm having to pace myself ordering stuff!! I ordered window decals for our cars earlier this week. Even got my younger son one that says Navy Brother for his car. I like the Ruben James coin, and I'll probably get that. I also found one on www.nwtmint.com site that I love about the armor of God. My SR will really like that one. And then, the ribbons!!! Someone told me about www.uniquememorymakers.com and she's got really neat ribbons.
Hope you guys are having a great day....happy Friday...one less to go until PIR!!
