Seeing my sailor for the holidays? What you need to know!
If they will be in BC over the holidays. The will NOT get leave.
If they are in GL "A" school:
the dates have already been given to the students, and my understanding is the students have already filled out leave chits or will be doing that with in the next week. Students leave will be approved, unless they get into trouble. So a plane ticket can be bought. Students will NOT get their leave chit back until the day they go on leave. The staff doesn't want them to loose the paper work, that is why it is not given to to them before hand.
If the Sailor is at their permant duty station:
The ships normally have two leave times: One covers over Chirstmas and one covers over New Years. There will be a day inbetween the two leave times when everyone has to be back on the ship. NO they can not take both leave peiords.
Not enough leave days:
If a Sailor is allowed to take leave and does not have enough leave days, they will go in the hole with leave days. It will get back to the postive after a few months.
Flights:
Sailors pay for their own flight home on leave. Sailors pay for their own way to get to and from the airport to go on leave.
Not taking leave:
If a Sailors does not want to take leave they do not have to. They will be working every day, plus have duty. If they don't have duty they might have off Chirstmas and New Years day. Every command is different about how much liberty they give Sailors over the holiday stand down who did not take leave.
LEAVE IS NOT APPROVED UNTIL THEY GET THEIR LEAVE CHIT BACK (with the expection of GL "A" Schools)
***I have some updated info for Sailors who will have PIR and than comeing to GL "A" schools during Nov
and Dec time frame:
The Sailors will be allowed to take the holiday leave, they will fill out a leave chit and sign a pg13,
stating they understand that they will go in the hole with leave day's. When a Sailor goes in the hole with leave days, if something happens latter on (before they earn the leave days back) it will be hard to go on leave. Also if the Sailor does not earn the leave days back prior to transfeering to their next command they will NOT be allowed to go on leave between "A" school and their fist duty station.

Only 1 or 2 divisions in BC are allowed to be adopted, for the rest of them it is a normaly day of training. If a recruit is allowed to be adopted, a letter was mailed to the recruits home. As far as adopting a recruit, not allowed unless the recruit sent you a letter.

Recruit=someone in BC.
Sailor= someone who has graduated BC.

Help. My husband is graudating the day before thanksgiving. His paperwork says his A school is in Texas and he is scheduled to be there dec 1. Does that mean he will have leave? he requested leave. I just want him to be able to stay in chicago with me the rest of the week? What do you think? in chances of that happening.

Your husband will leave to go to his "A" school, when the Navy tells him too. He can NOT take leave from BC. It dosen't matter what his paper work says, the Navy will take him to the airport and he will have a flight. You might be able to go to the airport and get a pass into the gate, so you can spend time with him before his flight.
The odds of him getting leave after BC, with out checking into his "A" school are zero.

Same thing Anti M said. Sailor will go to their "A" school prior to being allowed leave.

Most USO's have a Thanksgiving dinner. Also the Galley will serve a Thanksgiving dinner. A lot of Sailors go out for Thanksgiving dinner, as nothing is like a Thanksgiving dinner at home!
Crackerbarrel in GL will be serving Thanksgiving dinner.
