Thought you all might enjoy seeing the very tear jerking moments that have happened over the last couple weeks as we welcomed home VP45 and VP10 from their 6 month deployments to multiple sites including Africa, Italy, and El Salvador. I am a spouse of a VP45 sailor and business owner/operator of KBR Kreations Photography, I volunteered my photography for 6 out of 7 of the VP 45 homecomings and one of them was a joint homecoming with VP10. The one homecoming I didn't shoot was my own, I promised my husband I wouldn't work at our own homecoming...so I hired a photographer ;) lol I know for sure of one dad in this group who's son came home with VP45, I wonder how many others in this group have loved ones I was able to capture!? Hope you Enjoy the Photos!! =)

ZZsMom - I would wait till after leave, usually pass and decal won't give you decals unless you have orders for the base. If you're just on leave or visiting you'll get a pass. I assume Pcola would do the same thing. If her car is not in her name make sure she has a notorized letter giving her permission to use it, my hubby ran into that problem fresh out of bootcamp when his car was in his dad's name. Also make sure insurance, registration and drivers license are still in date! Pass and decal is open from 7am-3pm and is busy the whole time, normal wait time is 30 mins to an hour, so make sure she has everything in order her first attempt! I live on base, so I have guests come often and Pass and decal can be one pain in the butt!
Does she have her car at NAS pcola? If so then she can get one there but will need to get another one at her new duty station. My son had to get a new one when he got to NAS Jax.
zzmom- My son said there is a building on the right just before she goes through the gate and she can get the pass for her vehicle. He said if she tries to go through the gate they will tell her to go there. If the office is closed they will get her a temp pass and she will need to do it the next day. There is no special stuff except the registration and ins card in her name.
What does my Sailor have to do to get her car on base? Request a CHIT, get tags, or just show up with it? Does she have to phase up before she can have her car?
My older son is on night shift and they don't pt. But his day shift does. He goes back on days in 2 weeks so he isn't looking forward to the pt again but he needs it. Had to buy new dress blues for his inspection.
He works in building 1000 he said. Maybe your sailor have seen his car. He has a white EVO with camo fenders. He loves his car. LOL
My hubby said the same thing! he gained wait in boot. but they dont pt staff so he is getting back into the gym
