Did you go off base during Basic Training/Boot Camp?

Gee, I think we had a day downtown just before graduation. But, although I am an Air Force Officer now, I did not attend Air Force Basic Military Training, but instead attended Boot Camp at Great Lakes as my first service was the Navy. I do remember going to Six Flags on a regular basis on the weekends during follow-on training (Seaman Apprentice School or something like that). Used to take the bus in my white cracker-jacks and pray that they would not get dirty!

I honestly don't remember it was 30 years ago

Marine Basic training, letting someone off the base. hahaha surely you jest.

I never got off base during Basic Training. I think we had a chance to though.

No Ma'am in Parris Island Recruit Depot we were restricted to the base for the ten weeks we were there. However on the first night there; a guy from Boston who was in my charge went AWOL...He said "These DIs are crazy & I am out of here"....So just before lights out a DI noticed he was missing and had a search party try to find this guy. They did find him a few days later in the swamps in bad shape. So when I was on a bus leaving Parris Island after graduation I saw this guy again cleaning ditches; wearing dungarees with BRIG stenciled on the back of them.. So I waved at him & yelled "Good Luck"...

No.

Yes. For Family Day. The day before Graduation ceremonies.
