You will find out if you are "grad-n-go" about 3/4 of the way through boot. If that is the case you will get a few hours with your family, I would suggest they meet you at the airport and then they can give you your cell phone and laptop. As far as clothes, dont have them bring any, you cant wear them anyway until you make it through at least phase one of your A school.(each command has their own rules) By then you will have a mailing address they can ship stuff to you. If you are NOT grad-n-go, you will get to spend time with them after your PIR and then again on Saturday until about 8 pm..it all depends on when they plan on sending you to your A school. But they can still meet you at the airport to give you your cell and laptop.
