Thank you Cindy. I am looking forward to the experience. My husband and i like to plan way in advance. This was very helpful.
Thank you to all. I really needed to plan. Nice to know the Navy has a place for the family to get together and choose special items.
Hi doda. The glasses are horrible lol and the group picture they take of his division he had them on but for the pics with just him he had them off. Yes they get issued the glasses while in boot camp but if you already have his glasses/contacts ju...
What time did you leave (get to the base)? I hear they open the gates at 6:30 am. (??)
Hi
I was reading about your reply to the post about getting around up there and appreciate the tips. I may have come into the middle of the post/replies, but you mentioned having to take your sailor to get glasses or contact lenses? Sorry, new mom...
I drove this last weekend and I was glad I did. I didn't wait in traffic at all, but I got there really early so I could get a good seat.
My husband and I advised our nephew not to lock his knees and explained why. I gave him some advice from his Grandpa. My Dad told me that when he was in basic training he would wiggle his toes so his legs would not fall asleep while standing at at...
We'll be going to PIR on 12/18/09 and I'm wondering if there is anything for people with medical concerns so they're not standing/waiting for a long time. My dad will be there and had knee replacement surgery (several times) and also has congestiv...
Our PIR was 11/13.....best advice, GET THERE EARLY.....we left hotel at 7:10 by shuttle bus (3.00 per person) from the Residence Inn by Marriot, and until we were processed we had to find limited seats half way up the lower bleachers. Lines did mo...
Most of your travel will be on highways that are cleared of snow and ice quite thoroughly. Also, once you approach Chicago, it is pretty slow moving traffic. If you hit a slippery patch, whatever you do, do not slam on your brakes. You will need t...
My son leaves for boot camp Dec.7. We expect him to graduate in feb. any body have a graduation in the winter? Any advise on how to deal with traffic with snow? California Family. need all the help we can get.
My son graduated Nov 13 and it was awesome. As long as you have your gate pass you can park on base in a designated parking lot that is between the chapel and where they process you through. You need to keep the pass the whole weekend if you will ...
Hi. I live in connecticut and Jet blue had flights for 98.00 round trip. Southwest wanted 198.00
That's great. I feel much better. I hear conflicting info about taking the shuttle and driving. I would prefer to drive, but would hate to be in a traffic jam or in line to get on base for an hour. What do you think would be better?
They can invite 4. I went with my 2 sons and my ex went with his wife. Us 5 had no problem getting in.
Of those I met that stayed at the Ramada they were happy. We went there Thursday evening for the Meet & Greet. My teenagers met another teenager and they all played darts and pool. All this while I "worked the room" to find other families with a s...
