As long as you are not a grad n go to San Antonio, then you will be able to go...Take the train that is right next to base...It's cheaper, no traffic to deal with, and parking is impossible in Chicago...If you don't leave until Sunday, Saturday would be the best time to go because you get more liberty time.

My A-school is in San Antonio does that mean I'll automatically be grad n go?

When it says no smoking,does that apply to just smoking?Or is it a general rule for no tobacco use at all?

Doing without tobacco for 9 weeks would seem to me a real good opportunity to start doing without it forever. You will stay healthier, age better, and you can save all the money you would have spent on it to buy yourself something real nice in a few years.

I agree. I never understood why people go back to tobacco after 9+ weeks to break the addiction.

Understanding there are no definite answers until they get their orders, are there any general guidelines on what to expect for liberty and flying out after a PIR when there's a federal holiday on Monday?

For example, my daughter's PIR is Friday 9 Nov. Monday the 12th is the observed federal holiday for Veterans Day. Is she still likely to fly out on the 10th, or might the federal holiday mean a different fly date for her? And if so, might she have liberty that Saturday?
