Most are booking their hotels now with the favorites being Navy Lodge (reserve under your SR's name), then Springhill Suites, Holiday Inn Express, Courtyard by Marriot, and Residence Inn--all in Waukegan/Gurnee about 10 mins away from Recruit Training Command. No deposit necessary. Call the hotels directly for the Navy Graduation rate.

I'm probably being stupid and a typical worry wart mom but so many from 9/307 got calls today and we didn't. It just makes me wonder if my son got in trouble and wasn't allowed to make a call! He has always been a talker but he told me last week when he called (for 3 minutes) that he was the one keeping his mouth shut amazingly enough! LOL I guess I'll find out when I can eventually hear from him again.

I would love to know more about my SR getting off base after PIR. I'm pretty sure he'll be leaving GL on Saturday sometime for A school in FL. But my question is will he be doing a long process before he can come with us to the hotel on that Friday or will he process out in the morning. I heard if they have A school in GL then the process is long. And if their leaving for A school the next day he'll be able to get Liberty shortly after PIR and then he's ours for a little. I have older n laws that will be staying w/us in the hotel. And can't go to PIR due to lack of tickets. Should I leave them there at the hotel to watch ceremony live stream or can they get on base to watch the ceremony on a screen somewhere on base? Geez, to much to know for someone that's gotta do all the planning for everyone. I would just love to speak w/someone who was in the same boat (no putt intended...lol) as I am. I'm staying at the Homewood suites w/the gp's. I've been in Chicago before and the traffic took us hours from tolls to exit to blocks. I hope that's not how it is Friday morning
