You should be able to see your family Fri/Sat/Sun. I was able to. Granted that was a while ago but still.

I was under the impression that Grad N Go meant you were flying out to A School. What are some factors that could cause me to go immediately over to A school or wait a few days to walk over?

Its all up to the orders you get. There are no factors to get grad and go or not.

And from personal experience - orders can be changed at the very last minute as was in Michael's case. He found out very late on Thursday evening he was now a Grad 'N Go and when he left GL basically immediately after PIR, he ended up sitting for days at his A school till till they classed up.

I'm confused on a couple of points here:

1st ~ I too thought if you were going to A school at GL you were not a Grab n Go. My nephew who graduated in Feb. 2012 was a Grab n Go, he was able to spend Friday afternoon and evening with family, go back to base Friday night by 9pm then he was taken to the airport to go to Dam Neck. His fiancee was able to spend time with him at the airport as she was catching a flight back here to Texas. She got a pic taken of them while at the airport at 3am LOL

2nd ~ Why would you only have a few hours on Saturday to spend with family and then all day Sunday? I know after PIR they have to do their thing(packing, checking in and hurry up and wait) and then they get released and have to check back in by 9pm, but isn't that all done on Friday? What would they be doing on Saturday that they would only get a few hours to spend with family?

Yes, I also think there is some confusion. From what I have read. Grad and GO, is for people who are not staying at Great Lake. That is the people who only have Friday after graduation to spend with family. Those who are staying at GL for A school, go directly from PIR to check in at GL A school and then have the weekend to spend (fri,sat,sun) with their family?
