Do army people have to stay in a certain radius of their base?

My bf is 4 hours away from me and his house. When he first got to his base he got really depressed for a while bc they told him he had to stay in a certain distance and his house was out of the range.. so he only gets to come home when he gets leave for a holiday😔

I've been planning on driving to see him as a day trip. My mom has met him and loves him but my dad hasnt... they said they would feel more comfortable if my dad met him first before I went trucking 4 hours by myself. He just told me he cant even come home and go back the same night (day trip) bc it's out of radius. Is that true?? Why won't they freakin let him go as far as he wants as long as he comes back that night😔😔😔... I'm so sad and I feel helpless bc now the only time i can see him is it he gets leave for holiday or i go there and i know my parents arent gonna like me driving there all the time😔
