GoNavy- What generally happens is after graduation the sailor will get Friday afternoon to spend with their family. Most of the sailors going to Pensacola (be it NAS or Corry) will leave either that night at 0100, or the next night at 0100. They won't know for sure until about a week before PIR. If they leave later, they get to spend all day Saturday on liberty.
You CANNOT miss your flight, regardless of when your orders say your school starts. Everyone will go through an indoc phase once they get here, and most will get put on hold for at least a few days before they "class up." Classing up just means you start going to class, and get Phase III liberty.
Sailors aren't allowed to bring any contraband (cell phones, laptops, etc.) back to base from liberty, but families can meet them at the airport to hand over such items.
