Liberty Questions
 

Hello! I was wondering exactly how liberty after PIR works if my A school will be at Great Lakes? Assuming he can get leave, will my husband be able to bring me a few civvie things to put in the new barracks that weekend? How long is liberty that weekend? Will I have to be in the dress uniform or NSU's? If my husband is unable to bring everything I will need, will he be able to send me things in the mail? Are there any services that assist military members in shipping costs? Thanks! :)

Soon after PIR you ill get on a bus and head to TSC and to your new barracks. You will get a quick liberty brief and then be given liberty till 2200, that was our time anyway. The rest of that weekend you will have liberty from 0600-2200, again these times are what we were given. You will have to wear either dress uniform or NSU, your choice. Your husband will be able to bring whatever you need; civvies, electronics, shoes, etc. you are able to receive mail there, the address will be given to you when you get there. No, nobody is going to help you pay to mail stuff to a school.

Ok, thank you for the information!

Everything what he said was accurate...take advantage of that liberty, because I was one of the people who didn't go there (majority of my division did) and I only got to see my mom for that one day until 9pm. Also, you won't have to stand watch on Liberty (yes, watch isn't secured on liberty) so consider yourself one of the lucky ones!
