Navy Dads

Much respect for the folks running this site!  We shipped our Son off Sept 20 and I found great comfort from navydads.com!  We received his form letter yesterday along  with the curve ball of a Thanksgiving Grad (Nov 23).  I thought I would reach out and tap into others experience. I am wondering if the process will be 'normal', with the recruits flying out the next day or will there be a bit of variance here due to Thanksgiving?  If his Liberty will include T-Day, then we would want to plan for that and set up a Thanksgiving in deployoment :)    Any info/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I just spoke to public relations again over the phone and confirmed again that the recruits will not fly out until Friday or Saturday and WILL have liberty for T-Day.  The lady on the phone said they have not flown out the same day in over 5 years...  The recruits themselves are being fed other info so I have been uncertain up to this point.  I think with this confirmation, which matches previous members confirmations, we can likely assume T-Day liberty.  

Thank you for the update. I will plan accordingly!

RTC used to have something called "Grad and Go" When they used to fly out the same day as PIR. It is correct that RTC quit doing that some time ago. Five years sounds about right.
