Home Christmas
Will my husband get to come home from christmas if he graduates from boot camp Dec 14?
My husband is in bootcamp right now. He graduates December 14th will he be allowed to come home for christmas since hes suppose to go to school after that. Do schools close for christmas in the navy???
The bad news is that, unfortunately, liberty and leave are totally up to the Navy. It depends upon their need of his skills or expertise. It also depends on his chain of command.
The good news is that he presently has minimal skills and practically no skills in whatever rating he's striking for -- specialty for which he's going to "A" school. Most schools are not considered particularly "critical" endeavors -- though those skills the schools teach may be so considered -- the schools tend to "close down" on major holidays such as the Christmas - New Years week (or so). That's so the instructors can spend that time with their families -- and, as a result, so can the trainees.
So, he may be home for Christmas.
In my experience (25 years in the Navy), I was able to get home for about half those Christmases. But when I went in, Boot Camp was more than twice as long as it is now, and we were given two weeks "Boot Leave" after recruit training was completed and before we had to report to our "A" school.
The only way you're going to find out for sure is (1) through him -- when he finds out, he'll let you know, or (2) by checking with Great Lakes -- not advised, or (3) contacting his "A" school -- definitely not advised. I mention (2) and (3) to caution you against contacting his chain of command. That's absolutely the last thing you ever want to do. At best, he'll get a whole lot of teasing. At worst, he could get into a little trouble -- not because you pestered his chain of command, but because he failed to keep you adequately informed.
