Good luck to all of you and your SR. My daughter called, the medical team found and underlying thyroid condition and they are sending her home. She is beyond dissapointed but with our support she will get over it. We are now moving on to Plan B. Blessings to all.

It's nice to have a countdown clock but I am more concerned about PIR on 10/19 vs 10/12 :-)

I agree with ellen0502 as far as calling directly for the Navy Lodge...especially if it says it's full...it may not be! Here is the direct number for the GL IL one:
Navy Lodge Tele: 847-689-1485
Here is the Webiste for amenities: https://www.navy-lodge.com/lodge_amenities.html?p_lodge_number=5
...and here is my "spiel" on it as I stayed there!
Here is some additional info on the Navy Lodge:
I stay military when I can...hubby has been AF Reserves for 27 years, son is the Sailor...so I have dependant ID. You don't need it for this Navy Lodge. You tell them it is for PIR and they may ask for your Recruits Name and Rate (Navy enlisted have "rate" not rank...it coincides with their pay grade E-1 to E-9 for enlisted. E-3 is the highest rate they can "rank up" too in BC). They may also ask you to bring them by to verify...but I always forget if that is enforced.
It is clean, I did not get a kitchenette as those are first come first serve. We had to queens and a rollaway.TV with DVD player, microwave, small fridge etc. Had nice furniture and a lobby with a fireplace. Hot coffee 24/7. Vending machines (variety...even one with alcohol! You have to get tokens at the desk for this.) Coin laundry, You can buy Computer time (these look exactly like the ones I saw in Recruit phone Computer room at the NEX) and pay for printer usage. Computers are in front of the elevators on each floor. WiFi has a charge. They do not have a Shuttle Service...but you can ask to arrange for a taxi...again here is where Sarge can come in handy!(SARGE AT 847-212-0246)
Lobby has DVD's for rent, post cards and a Curio with some Navy items for sale. They will give you a temporary pass to use at the small NEX down the road...there is also a gas station (don't need a pass for that).
It runs about $65.00 a night...no tax.
Here is a pic of the pass (courtesy of Craig):
They do a brown bag breakfast daily...was great for PIR. Bagel, cream cheese, chewy granola bar and large OJ...all in this bag:
Was great for PIR! I don't have pictures of the outside...only our messy hotel room!
The NL is about 1.5 miles from RTC. It is not on base but it is in some of the base housing area.
Here is a Mapquest from the Navy Lodge to Ohio Street, Gate 8 of RTC:
