Money right after bootcamp? and liberty

bbrandon92 · 05-02-2012, 03:04 PM

Ive heard right after the graduation ceremony you get liberty to spend the day with your family. So I have 2 questions
1. Will you have access to the money youve earned while at bootcamp?
2. How long is liberty? my ATT is right there at Great lakes (aecf)
Some places ive heard just a few hours, some ive heard until 9pm that night. Ive also heard its overnight if your tech school is on base.

After graduation, you will have to go back to y your compartment, pack your sea bag, and catch a bus over to your A school. After you check in there, you will have liberty for the remainder of Saturday and Sunday. The guys from my division who went accross the street for A school were out on liberty by about 3 PM, so they had a few hours on Saturday and then all day Sunday

As for money, if you sign up with Navy Federal, they will set up your direct deposit and deliver your debit card to you in bootcamp. If you are using hometown banking, just bring your current ATM card as well as the account and routing number to set up your direct deposit.

Hope this helped.

So I'm in the same boat as Brandon, AECF. When you get liberty for Saturday and Sunday, do you still have to be back at night? Or can you stay out at night?

I can't say for absolute sure, but you almost definitely have to go back at night. I'm 9 weeks into A school in South Carolina, and I'm just now earning overnight liberty on the weekends

That's only for grad and go that you would go across to A school side. I wasn't grad and go and didn't transfer to A school side till the tuesday after grad weekend.
