Just graduated!

Corry is awesome. It's one of the most laid back bases in the U.S.

The IT's have it harder than most of the CT's here, but they still have it pretty easy compared to the rest of the "A" Schools as far as liberty and leadership are concerned. It's a pretty tough school, so be prepared to give it 100% from the time you get here.

Congrats to you on graduating!!!
My question is this...what wast the process once you graduated to the time you physically got to Corry Station. I have a (future) CTR that will graduate BC on August 17th. I can't figure out what the process is once they graduate. If there is space to start A school, do they leave right away or do they go there even if there isn't an opening and just "hold"? Or do they go on leave until school starts?
We are planning on meeting him at O'Hare the morning/afternoon he leaves. We are actually staying at the Hilton adjacent to terminal 2 so we can be there. Can he take his phone back to the barracks after his visit with us after graduation? Thanks!!! Again, Congrats!

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.
