Question: Can I give my SR his cell phone and accessories to bring back to the barracks the night before his flight? I don't know when his flight is and if it differs from mine, it doesn't seem possible to give it to him at the airport. I won't know his flight time until only a couple of days before PIR, if that. I'm frustrated that I can't even coordinate a flight lol. I'm guessing there are a million more things I won't be able to plan :/

He should be able to have it. My husband went out and bought a new phone the day after graduation and he never had a problem. Good luck with the planning! That is definitely one of the most frustrating things about the military, it's impossible to plan ahead much for anything!

Im beginning to learn! Lol

He's not allowed to return to the barracks with anything he didn't leave with aka his cell phone. Really the only way is to meet him at the airport to give it to him. They'll go at like midnight or 3 am and most people just meet them there and hang out until their SRs flight leaves. I don't know when you're leaving but he'll most likely be at the airport when you do. You can always mail it if you don't see him but you should. Or he can always go buy a new one like EmilyNicole said her husband did.

I fear that my evening flight will be much later than his, causing me to leave early, watch him go, and then be stuck at the airport for hours until my flight :/

Yeah it sucks not knowing what time their flight will be. I've seen some at like 8am and others not until 5 pm so you really just have to wing it. But that time with them at the airport is worth it
