What Is Grad Day (PIR) Liberty?

bevans988 · 10-17-2012, 05:55 PM

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?

Knowing the navy and how they try to find flights they can fill up with several new sailors...that one might not be very full...my guess would be they very well could ship her then.

So it turned out she did not get an extra day of liberty. They flew out today (Saturday), per usual.

In fact, the group that was flying to Pensacola on the 1220 flight left Great Lakes for Midway at 0030. Yikes! Daughter called us around 0230 and told us where they'd be. We met her in the ticketing area around 0430 and got a gate pass so we got to spend the morning with her until she had to board.

It was absolutely wonderful to be with her again and see what a fine sailor she's become.
