We got dropped off at our barracks, got our room assignment, and dropped our stuff off. Then we had a very short briefing about our liberty rules, marched to the gate, and went with our families. This was all finished around 3pm and we had to be back in our ship by 9:45pm. We also got Saturday and Sunday for liberty but we had to be back on the ship by 10pm every night and our parents had to sign us out every morning. I can't say for certain that that is how it will be for you because rules change all the time. It may be a good possiblilty though cause I'm in one of the FC/ET ships. Hope this helped

This may sound like an odd question and I'm by no means intending this to sound smart a**, when you say "your parents had to sign you out every morning", what if your married? Then would the spouse have to sign them out?
Thank you FutureSailor!!

I know things can and will change but it's always great to have a general idea of how things could go and then not be too disappointed if they do change at the last minute.

It's basically whatever family you have that is visiting you for that weekend has to come to the ship and sign you out. If you're married, then yes your spouse can sign for you but it doesn't necessarily have to be your spouse. Let's say that you have other family there too. In that case, any of them can do it. The ship just wants an idea of where you are and who you're with.
