RTC- breaks, yelling, graduation.

Graduation ends around 1000-1030 depending on the number of divisions graduating and how much the guest speaker (usually an admiral) wants to listen to the sound of his own voice. The final moments of graduation are liberty call, they call liberty you get to break ranks and you are on liberty. On liberty you can go anywhere with your family and do just about anything with a few rules (no alcohol even if of age, have to stay in uniform, no bringing cell phones back, no tobacco, etc). Your liberty will expire at a certain time and at that time you are required to be IN YOUR COMPARTMENT (Not on base, not in your ship, not on your way to your ship, in your divisions compartment). The actual time your liberty expires depends on your RDCs and your division. Standard is 2000 for a graduating division, 2100 for a CNO Honor Division, and 2200 for a hall of fame division (which one you are depends on your scores in boot camp). Your RDCs and ships officer may modify this however. You will have a brief before graduation (usually with the ships officer) and you will be told all the rules for liberty and when you need to be back, and give you some different places you may want to go with your family.
