Pam - when my son was at P'cola NAS he had a Chevalier Field mailing address part of the time there.  There's a whole system they go through...when they can wear civies, go off base, etc....I'm not sure if they relax things during holidays. My first husband was Navy, but that seems like ages ago. The only time we ever missed a holiday with him was when he was a Persian Gulf Tour. We won't see our son this Turkey Day....he's stuck in OK. cuz he recently started up a new class. He has enough time built up, just can't leave right now. I have NO idea if we will see him for Christmas... :(

The Navy is great, but don't count on seeing your loved ones on holidays.  My sons been in three years and is ready to reup, but we havent seen him yet for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

A lot is going to depend on where he is at.............there are 3 bases in P'Cola. NAS - Corry - Whiting Field. As my son puts it NAS is really anal about everything, he did his A school at Corry and is now stationed there. I agree, no matter which base he is at, he will still be in phase one and unless they have some type of command approved/controlled activity that pairs the sailors with a family, he will be restricted to the base and will be eating on base and may even have duty over the weekend also.

Pam chances are that he will have to stay on base. Once they phase up, they get more weekend liberty time. Now Christmas will be a different story. When my son was in "A" school there, he got two weeks at Christmas.

If you look at the base in P-cola by using Google Earth, you can see an area that looks like a carrier deck. It's where they learn aircraft handling techniques.
