Bryan, are you renting a car? If so, you might just be able to wait for him at the NEX. It's a large building that has a food court there too. We had to wait for our sailor to check in across the street, then hike it back to us so we could leave the base with him. He didn't go to A school there, but was put in the THU before he shipped out to Pensacola. Temporary Holding Unit.

Since his A school is in GL there is a good chance you could have him for the whole weekend. My youngest son was AECF ET and his A was in GL, so we were able to pick him up around 5PM Friday and he went to his A school "ship" on Sunday evening, very nice, but he had to call to "muster" at designated times. That doesn't always happen, but chances are good. :)

My daughter's PIR was this past Friday (8/26), she had to report in right after the graduation and had liberty about 4 hrs later. She did have the weekend from 0600 to 2200.
