Good Evening all, hope everyone had a good weekend, today was a little difficult, had about a 45 min. cry,unable to share my sadness with my husband since he would probably make some comment about me still crying, he just doesnt understand the bond between a mom and her son.  Needless to say im missing my son alot, hoping for a letter or phone soon, hope everyone is doing well.

I do have a question, is it too soon to book hotel rooms, with the understanding everything goes well (fingers crossed)?
((Hugs)) to all...

classicplbghtg, Even if you dont get the password, you can park your car across the street at the Metra Station and walk over to PIR. You can still get in to the drill hall for PIR, you just can't park on the base.

classicicolbgtg, We don't know if they are by division, TG, individual etc. Your SR will know the password, ask in your next letter.

is the password the same for the group or is it individual because  i know someone whose in that division just in case

Yes, correct, Barby, about BensonMom. 

So BensonMom:  Be sure you keep that original form letter with that password so when you need to get the new password for this group, you can give the Public Affairs Office (PAO) your original PIR date/original password!  Very important!  Once they have this info, they will be able to give you the new one.

Ladies, the password will be used to download the "gate pass" starting 11 days before PIR.  There will be a "get gate pass" prompt then on the "Upcoming Graduations" RTC page.  This gate pass is needed for any car entering RTC.  Those riding the shuttle will not need it, but I suggest that all plan to download and print it just in case.  Also, if you drive to return your sailor to RTC that night and want to drive onto the base, you will need the pass.  I have also heard that if your sailor moves over to GL A School base, the RTC gate pass gets you on that base initially...not positive on that, maybe ellen knows?  But think so.

Just telling you this now so that you put the letter in a safe place and maybe even write down the password to store in a couple of safe places...on your home calendar and maybe in your purse???  Some ladies in the past have gotten ready to print out their gate pass, only to realize that they have lost the form letter with the password!  Not a good thing!  Keep it safe!  :-)
