Son going to BC on 11/20 from SD. Recruiter says all grads happen on a Friday and he will get to have liberty weekend with us and reports back on Sunday. Question, can sailors stay at the base if they don't stay with their families at the hotel? I also heard they cannot do certain things while on liberty like smoking, what have been your expreiences? Also, aside from the Sears Tower, what are a couple of "must sees" out in Chicago considering the weather in January. Thanks in advance.

You should add yourself to the PIR 1-15-09 group they are amazing. We talk all the time about our sailors and upcoming events and we really do support each other

FYI:

All recruites do NOT grad on Friday. Look at this week, they are grading on the 24th Dec. It is NOT true all of them get liberty weekend.

Sailors are NOT to drink after PIR, they have NOT earned the privilage to do that, it is also STRONGLY discouraged for them to smoke.

Hi Napolean and Yvette- Downtown Chicago is incredible. The Navy Pier is a must see, also. In January though it will be so incredibly cold. You can eat a Gumps at Navy Pier, and at least see a bit of downtown.
