Comment by diannep on February 28, 2012 at 9:19am: HAA, kimmic! You have a while to wait for that call, so get your "things" done this morning. Calls usually start around 2pm GL time...but can start later. Keep the cell phone CLOSE...in the bra even!

We THINK that 915, 075, 076 and possibly 916 went through last night. Time will tell!

Comment by diannep on February 28, 2012 at 9:17am: emmie: What I have read on here in the past is that if they have "family" there (and you should qualify as that), then you can sign him out. You have to go on base to do this. If they have liberty with no family there, then they have to go with a "liberty buddy." Make sure to keep your gate pass with you. Not sure if you need this every time, but someone had mentioned that you should have it with you. I believe it is a pretty good walk from the front gate to sign him out.

No worries...make sure he has his phone card with him when he leaves RTC (maybe bring one--just a 30 minute one should work-- in case his ran out). He can call you all on Friday when he is finished moving in to pick him up. It usually takes a large part of the afternoon to do this. He should be "versed" on conditions of his liberty when you pick him up. He can return that night to his base with his cell. Better communication then!

Comment by kimmic1989/Eric's Mom on February 28, 2012 at 9:14am: Is anyone else completely useless today walking in circles and unable to concentrate while waiting for a phone call?? I can't get out of my own way. I had my toothbrush in my hand this morning and couldn't remember what I was about to do. Good GAWD!!!

Comment by Beth89 on February 28, 2012 at 7:08am: Bearsmom our family is also staying @ the Navy Lodge

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 28, 2012 at 4:37am: Me too...on the first part! Hang in there...other veteran moms on in the AM so hopefully they will have input! ;)

Comment by emmie<3 on February 28, 2012 at 4:16am: :) Ive been searching this site and google for a few hours now trying to find out more information, but have came up mostly empty handed. I'm sort of thinking that maybe since none of the other GF mentioned anything about this then it wasn't an issue. No news is good news?

Or it could be that most of the others had there sailors family their. :(

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 28, 2012 at 4:12am: Maybe we can find a GF from a recent PIR.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 28, 2012 at 4:10am: I do too...I meant the part about "varies" etc...and "prefer" as hopeful since they are not "No..." or "must, will, can"...not.

Comment by emmie<3 on February 28, 2012 at 4:01am: Thank you so much FTLW. I'm scared they won't let me be his Liberty buddy. His moms leaving Friday night, and I obviously want to see him Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully it will be okay and work out. :(

Pass in Review (PIR) Weekend Security Notes

by Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes on Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 3:36am ·

PIR Security Notes - Security does have the ultimate authority when it comes to base access. Threat conditions, weather and the Security Officers' inclinations may change the ability for an individual to enter the base. It's not always black and white. For the most part, if you have obtained a base pass on Friday at the visitor’s center, and you are escorted on base by your Sailor, you should be able to drive aboard. The visitor's center is open Saturday morning only, so people trying to access the base by driving on Sunday only may not be able to do so. It is not required for a parent or spouse to "check-in" their Sailor on Friday evening. Normally it’s from the next day on. Again, the rules may vary from barracks ship to ship in regards to the first weekend check-in and out policies, but individuals 18 and over with a proper state or federal identification should do. However, most ships do prefer to see a bonified relative or spouse, not a girl or boy friend to a "Liberty Buddy".

More specific questions can be answered by the Visitor's Center staff at (847) 688-5648 The address is 610 Farragut Avenue, Great Lakes, IL.

Please remember, that when it comes to security, there are no guarantees; it’s what keeps your Sailor safe - and that's a good thing!

The above has been a question and so TSC put this out...but it is a new thing to us so asking would be a good idea. Even their Note about it above has some "varies" and "no guarantees".

That's all I know I'm afraid.

Here is the direct link to the Note and also the TSC Notes page for other info.
