No, it is leave. He has to pay to get back.

Greyhound it or drive him. Make sure he knows the report time.

Nope, he pays for it. I took a Greyhound back to Camp Geiger.

They require everyone to purchase a train or flight ticket (maybe a bus ticket too, it's been a while) regardless of whether or not family will come pick them up.

He will have the opportunity to make the travel arrangements towards the end of boot camp.
