<p>That is exactly what my step father would say! He was a CW3 in the Army. And you would think my husband would know this since both his mom and dad were in the Navy. </p>

<p>Thanks for sharing! This was very helpful! Fingers crossed, I'll be attending my sons PIR end of Sep. Being late to anything brings on anxiety for me, I would rather be too early than 5 mins late. My husband thinks he can be 5 mins late and it's OK. :( </p>

<p>Daughter graduates on Feb 8. Her's is the first division to come through. Which end of the building should we sit to be directly in front of her division?</p>

<p>Your post was very helpful. I just attended PIR Nov 09 2018. My experience was wonderful. I would recommend if you plan to take the shuttle, take an early one. My husband didn't think we needed to go so early if taking the shuttle because we wouldn't have to wait in line to park, so we took the 7:15. It was running late, so we didn't leave the Holiday Inn until after 7:30. There was a good sized line for security and I had to go through the bag line (camera bag) so it took awhile. …</p>
<p>Your post was very helpful. I just attended PIR Nov 09 2018. My experience was wonderful. I would recommend if you plan to take the shuttle, take an early one. My husband didn't think we needed to go so early if taking the shuttle because we wouldn't have to wait in line to park, so we took the 7:15. It was running late, so we didn't leave the Holiday Inn until after 7:30. There was a good sized line for security and I had to go through the bag line (camera bag) so it took awhile. Then it's a good walk (maybe 1/4 mile) to get to the ceremony hall and additional security checkpoints. We were able to find seats upstairs in the balcony, but in front of the division next to my son's - not his division. And we were not all able to sit together. It is still a good view from the balcony, but not ideal for pictures because of the railing in front of you. Again, point being - go earlier!! My son was not staying at Great Lakes for A school, but wasn't shipping out until early Sunday morning (0630), so we were able to have him right after the ceremony until he had to be back on base by 2000 hours. That means in his rack at 2000, so he wanted to leave at 1915 to give himself time to walk from the gate back to the barracks. We were told the hotel shuttle was for graduation only. No biggie. I called Sarge's taxi and he took him back to the gate at base. Then he could sign himself out for Liberty again Saturday morning at 0730 and we had him all day until he had to be back again by 2000. Sunday morning we met him at the airport (O'Hare) at 0130 and hung out with him until his flight to A school at 0630. All in all a wonderful weekend and we enjoyed every minute with our Sailor!!</p> Thank you so much for this in…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2018-11-11:1971797:Comment:104700232018-11-11T19:12:03.414ZJennhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/0s66bstr16ofo
