  Thanks Jim for the reply. I hope maybe we can find something out soon. The holidays add a degree of difficulty to all of this.

My daughter graduates 16 Nov and A school doesn't start til Dec 3, she doesn't get leave--she will most likely be doing watch. We think she will get off from 24 Dec- 2 Jan. That has been my experience in the Marines...Usually about 10-11 days. That will be the time to fly him home. He should get time for Thanksgiving as well, but since he is new to the unit, expect the worst shifts, as it is usually a 'seniority' thing. Plan on a few days 21-26 off during this time as well. Our SAILORs do not have much leave time accrued...2.5 days per month, so by Thanksgiving, they will only have 7.5 days accrued, and although some units allow you to go into a deficit, its rather rare, especially for new members.

Greetings to all, I am getting a lot of info from this site...Does anyone have any insight on MA school in San Antonio and possible leave for New Years? My son is @ RTC and has PIR 12/28. My understanding is that on 12/29 he will be flown to San Antonio for his A school. If there is a chance that he would have some leave time after he checks into Lackland, I would rather fly to SA and spend some measurable time with him rather than a few hours following PIR...

Any insight is greatly appreciated...
