Is SR granted liberty after PIR until Sunday evening if they are staying in GL for A school? Or do they have to be back each evening?

Thanks for all the help Stephen, limited slip, and Russell! I've friend requested each of you, and as I can see, y'all will definitely be a wealth of knowledge and help during these trying days my son is giving it his all! :)

My son had his car shipped to Coronado shortly after arriving and it was very helpful for him and his classmates. No DOD sticker required for on base parking and Week. He is across the road on the Amphibious Base side of the street and there is also ample parking there. The dirt lot just outside the gate on that side is also available but does not seem to be needed.Hope this helps.

Our guy got his Trident over a year ago, but had called after the first week of BUDs, and said they could have cars.  I drove his car cross Country (54 hours Annapolis to Coronado, by myself) - so he had it the week before HW.  May depend on the Class and the Instructors. From what I heard from our guy, most of what you read about BUDs and HW is true.  The 90% mental aspect is assuming the guys are in great shape -  but it's not necessairly the physically strongest guys that make it.  They have to have the " I will not quit" attitude.  There was a great video of one of the training segments,  a recruit was talking, and the comment was (summarized here) - "They can make me cold, wet, tired,   hungry, miserable, etc,  but the only thing they can't make me do is quit".  Best wishes to your guy.  It is an emotional roller coaster ride for the family and friends -

Thanks for that info Stephen. I'm retired Navy so already have military tags on vehicle so that'll help some. Do you know if there is a period of time that he has to wait once he gets to Coronado before he can have the car? The reason I ask is that he's hearing rumors that he can't have it until after hell week. Oh, and I'll pass along the 5 minute approach to him, it sounds like it would help in some situations. :)

Hoping someone in this group can help me out. My son will be headed to Coronado in the near future and I was planning on driving his car out there to him. I understand that they won't have much time for going anywhere but I would like to know if he will be able to have it out there. Thanks for any help!

Stephen, thank you.

We are in San Diego this week on vacation and my son was able to workout with the local NSO/NSW mentor group, when he was done we took a spin over to Coronado and got to watch the Navy's finest performing surf passage and other beach drills. I was told by the sentry at the gate that this is hell week, what an awesome sight!

That was a great commencement by Admiral McRaven, I shared it with my soon to be SO this afternoon. He graduates high school this evening, then it's off to boot camp, then to BUD/S.

Hooyah Admiral McRaven!
