What is the standards for liberty in Naval MOS schooling? My wife will be there soon, and I want to find out if I can visit her and how far can she travel away from her base? Her MOS school is at Great lakes (Hospital man school) Thank you!

i spent 8 months up in great lakes, but it was for the engineering A school.
however, ive had several friends go through the HM School.
the liberty cycles go as follows.
phase 1 - dress or working uniforms when on liberty, curfew 2145 all the time - cannot leave base during the week.
phase 2 - dress or working uniforms - curfew during the week 2145 and on the weekends 2345 - can leave base, but in uniform.
phase 3 - civilian clothes, can leave base whenever - no curfew on the weekends - and 2345 during the week.
that was as of 6 months ago - i may have messed up on the phase 3 - im not sure if theres no curfew at all - and they just have to be back for muster at 0600 but im not too sure.
but thats about as accurate as i can get.
hope i helped you out.

In the Navy, usually they are called "A Schools". For instance, when I was in the Navy, I attended Machinist Mate A School.
It is up to the commander of the school what liberty standards are used. Typically, weekends are free time, except there will probably be duty rotations for watchstanding or mopping, where liberty would not be allowed. That is typical. Again, it is up to the commander of the school. If the school is fairly short, there may not be any liberty granted. If the school is longer, then liberty may not be given for the first week or so, and then gradually faded in with seniority.

Well it has been many years since I graduated from my "A" school, but single Sailors lived in the barracks with Cinderella liberty through the week dependant upon your phase. Liberty expired at midnight Sunday on weekends. If you had weekend duty, than you could not leave the base. We were not permitted to travel more than 50 miles away, but I believe that has since been done away with. You can go anywhere, but you had better be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. Members who were married prior to reporting for school were permitted to live with their spouse either on or off base depending on their housing situation. You might want to check to see if those regulations still stand. An extended stay hotel may be a viable option for you. Good luck.

First, it is not MOS (that is Army jargon). In the Navy it is called a "rating". She is probably in "A" school, which is the initial rating training.
As for liberty, normally students are not allowed liberty at least the first two weeks of school. They are given limited liberty after that, and they are not allowed outside of 50 miles. Upon graduation, they are normally given leave time (usually a week or two) in which they can travel anywhere within the continental U.S. (and for some outside) at their own cost.

It goes in steps. The first few weeks will be very limited. It also depends on the schools. Because in my army AIT same as Naval MOS schooling in the beggining we had overnight passes on the weekend. And towards the end they took them away because too many rape and underage drinking incidents happening. It all depends on the school and the commander of the unit

Well it all depends on how long that school is. But in most A schools(like HM) she will have weekend liberty except on duty weekend. Each school sets distances that very for how long of a liberty weekend it is. I was in AT, A school in Pensacola, and if you were married, your family could move down there with you and the Navy paid for it all. If she has a long school, I would look in to it.

The Corpsman "A" school has change dramatically. It's all computerized and you can go on your own pace. As for liberty, it's totally how well the whole class do and stay out of trouble. As far as I know they are done at 4pm and have weekend liberty.

I only know the rules for the Army, but when I was in AIT, or MOS school, we couldn't go further than 50 miles out of the area.
Tell your wife good luck!

I don't think you'll be allowed to visit her. I also don't think she'll be able to travel away from the base. Maybe to go out in town, but certainly not out of town. Your best bet is to just wait until you hear from her when she gets there. Different schools have different rules, but for the most part... it's just a continuation of boot camp until you're actually in the fleet.

Military training happens in phases. Each phase is called something different. Eventually she will reach a phase where she is allowed to leave her barracks for passes and whatnot. All you have to do is wait until she is at AIT and ask her when she will move to the next phase. That is when you'll be able to see her off post.
