I can't remember where I saw it, but on Thanksgiving week, PIR is always Wed., I would assume that what ever would normally be Thurs/Fri would then be Tue/Wed. The newly graduated sailors would be permitted (always subject to change) "liberty" for Thanksgiving. They have to be back at the base by a specific time (times will vary). I will look for the site with the information on it and post the link. :)

Any info. of update on the Thanksgiving weekend PIR? I read most likely Wednesday and that we MAY get some time on Thanksgiving with them (would be awesomeI). I wonder also, if he is staying at GL for 3 more weeks after PIR, if we might get any additional time over the weekend. To be determined I guess. Also I read somewhere that the Navy Gateway only takes reservations 30 days in advance by phone, but 60 by internet... Anyone know if this is true. Thanks!
