My son leaves early tomorrow from Ohare and we want to wait with him. Does anyone know how we are able to do that? Do we just meet him at the USO

nextstep,

Just ask your Sailor which airport--Midway or O'Hare--he is flying out of, what time his bus leaves RTC, and what time his flight leaves.  The Sailors are all brought to the airport early in the morning, about 1:30 am or maybe a little later.  Your Sailor will know when the bus leaves RTC.  Then get the directions from the computer or your hotel and meet your Sailor at the airport.  O'Hare is about 35 mins from RTC and Midway is a solid 1 hour.  Be sure everyone has their id with them in your party.  Go directly to the airport--don't try to follow buses from RTC because you might be following the wrong one!

The Sailors meet on the 2nd level of the Midway terminal.  Offsite parking is less than parking at the airport lot.  We parked in the Red Lot for a $14 flat fee and the airport shuttle brought us to the terminal.  The driver knew where the Sailors were  When the Sailors are called up in groups to get their boarding passes, the family members follow after and are issued their Gate Passes to go with them.  You will go through security.  We got to be with our Sailor daughter from 2:00 am to 10:30 am!!  Don't forget to take pics of them with some of their buddies.

Sorry, I don't know about O'Hare, but find out which airline he is leaving from and that would help.
