Just wondering why some DI's are granted special liberty so they can go home before working Indoc while EMT's aren't allowed that -- and is there a special req. for band co. to stay for graduation? Also wondered why mids can't leave until Tues. when the graduation is on Monday am? I have asked our DS but can't seem to get an answer. He will be an EMT during Indoc but special liberty was turned down and he is in band as well. Oh well, guess we just have to get used to not seeing him much these 4 years. Also, just tough being on the other coast -- can't just pop over to NY too easily. Still glad he is there and doing well, just had been looking forward to a summer vacation with him.
