If I go to Fort Sam Houston to visit my wife while she is in AIT, will I be able to see her and spend time with her during the day?

I’m Navy, wife decided to go Army. I know her graduation date, as well as her projected start date for class in AIT (the following Monday). However, I was curious if I would be able to fly out around the same time she does and stay on base to see her while she is there, being I’m just coming off a deployment. When I was in A-school, I was allowed to walk around base, just couldn’t leave for the first few days. Some info online states she can’t leave “company areas” while others state she can’t leave base. Any help is appreciated.

The training is broken down in phases. When I went in 2016 it could have been updated.
Phase 4 they can’t leave the Company AO even on weekends.
Phase 5 they can leave the company AO in civilians aslong as they stay on post. They can also go off post during certain times on the weekend but must be in there Class B uniform at all times.
Phase 5+ They can always be off post at any time when training is not being done. They can be in civilians as well but they still must meet the time hacks and be on post at night and go to formation.
At no time can they stay off the Company AO over night.

Not curious if she could stay over night, more curious if I went out there if I would be able to see her/spend time with her during the day. Even if it’s just to walk around base or something.

Chances are you will NOT be able to see her during the day. After POI, perhaps...depending on which phase she is in. Best bet is to have her gather this info and relay it to you when she gets a definitive answer.

I went there last year. While i was there you couldnt leave the company area till after the nremt phase/phase 4. After nremt you become phase 5 and are able to walk around base when released but have to be back by final formation. Alot of command changes have happened so this info might be outdated.

PO3 (Join to see) when she is released for the day you should be able to spend time with her. While in phase 4 it will have to be approved. But in phase 5 there should be no issue in spending time with her. I had people in my class spend time with family quite a bit.

Well my guess is no. She’s on active duty at an MOS school you can’t have time off to boogie with your spouse during the day. You have to wait until off duty hours if she gets those. Come on dude think about it. Do you think that would have happened when you went to your Sonar School.

As an instructor for 68w, in phase 4 they are restricted to the company area, being the shopette, the gym and the company. In phase 5 they can go off post in class b uniform on the weekends, but have to be back for final formation. If they stay on post they can wear civilian clothes. Phase 5+ the only change is they can go off post in civilian clothes

I know at Gordon we do give the new Soldiers a family weekend that first weekend they get there because most do drive down with family. Like other have said you will just have to see when she gets down there and signs in after basic
