4th of July weekend graduation
My son left May 12th. I recieved his first letter yesterday saying his graduation is July 2nd. It also says in the letter that they leave immediatly to their school the next day? Does anyone know if they get any time with us after graduation? Trying to plan our time in chicago being that it is a holiday weekend prices are crazy. I want to maximize our time with him.
Thank you!

Plus you can get a few hours together if you meet up at the airport before his flight. RTC buses the new Sailors to the airports in the wee hours of the morning.
Are you sure he is flying out to A school? Many new Sailors stay at Great Lakes for additional training. In that case, there is daytime liberty all weekend.

Yes he's going to Pensacola after boot camp from what I understand. .I assumed since his graduation is on a Thursday that they would send him out on Friday before the actual holiday..it's all very confusing as of right now..plus his letter said he's graduating July 2nd but a lot of people have mentioned July 10th for the recruits that left on may 12th..now I'm super confused...I made my plans based on his letter hoping that wasn't a mistake...can anyone else advise me please..I saw July 2nd listed on the website as a graduation date...

How it works: http://navyformoms.com/group/bootcampmoms/page/ship-division-how-it...
The form letter is the definitive source for ship/division/PIR date. Everyone's boot camp experience is not the same, even if they arrive the same day on the same bus.
