Liberty is granted based upon merit
On Wednesday and Thursday, graduates are given “town pass” which permits them to leave the installation for a set period of time. They must remain within the boundaries set by the BMT Commander (During Town Pass you are allowed to travel within one hour of JBSA Lackland. Use apps like Google Maps and Waze to help you safely navigate the local area) and must return to their squadron prior to curfew. Late returns will result in disciplinary action, including restrictions on the following day’s liberty, or even a recycle to a previous week of training. Don’t come back late! Graduates must return to their squadrons before curfew each night. Thursday’s curfew is earlier because many trainees have to get up as early as 2:00 a.m. to prepare to ship to technical training.
Wednesdays: Following the coin ceremony, graduates are allowed off-base liberty (Town Pass). They must return to their squadron by 8 p.m.
Thursdays: Following the parade, graduates will be allowed off-base liberty (Town Pass). They must return to their squadron by 6 p.m.
*Note: On rare occasions liberty can change last-minute due to the potential for severe weather or safety concerns.
