Greetings,
I am going to ODS soon and I have some questions regarding family contact (married with a 7 month old):
1.Are we able to call / video chat our families daily starting from day 1 in the evenings after the training day is over?
2.I read that based on our groups performance that we may have weekend liberty in Newport either weekend 2 or 3? Are our families able to visit us that weekend? What are the rules and regulations about spending time with them during the weekend day? We must always be in groups of 2-3 correct? Are we able to meet our families at a local restaurant or tourist attraction?
3.I read we may also get weekend liberty to go within 100 miles of the base on a weekend liberty later on during the course. Ive read that many go to Boston. Are we able to see our families during this weekend liberty?
I am fully prepared to not see my family for 5 weeks but just want to set expectations for myself and my wife. Thank you!
