Sailorswife: You may want to contact Sarge and see if he has a car seat that he can include in his cab for you. Not sure about that, but maybe? If he can put you with others to share his cab, it will save you some money. Contact him directly and talk to him about this:

Hello all! With word of next weeks weather in Chicago getting pretty snowy, I am now paranoid and terrified of my flight somehow being cancelled on 11/13. It would be fine for me to change my flight for my little one and I to leave on 11/12 which is what I originally wanted and should have gone with, however my in-laws wouldn't be able to leave till 11/14 and they would be renting a car with us that includes a car seat. Do you know of any transportation service that offers some sort of child restraint in it to take us from midway to the navy lodge? Kind of stressed and I know it's only because I'm driving myself crazy lol. I just want to be prepared and I feel like if we leave on Thursday thats cutting it so close to possibly missing PIR the next Day. Thanks in advance!

michaelsmom: RTC Public Affairs asks that those who are not on the graduation list stay off base and watch the Livestream at the hotel....however, for those who have extras who are children, elderly, disabled, etc and need to be close by, they do allow some people into the Chapel on base to watch the Livestream. These extras will NOT get into PIR Hall....but will be able to meet up with you and your sailor after PIR is over.
I emailed Brian Walsh, RTC Public Affairs, a few months back about this issue and that is what he told me...

Good morning everyone! I got a call from my SR last night. His is the port watch section leader *(or whatever it is called) and he said ship 13 div 007 and 008 will do BS (OPSEC) band then go straight to graduation practice. I would assume since he manages the watch schedule, he probably is pretty accurate with the dates for his division. Just wanted to give a heads up for those in his ship.

My SR has said more than once that the 3 people we have coming to graduation ( but won't be able to go to the ceremony) can go to the chapel and watch. Is that the case? I thought I remembered seeing that the chapel is on base and anyone who wants on base has to be on the list. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
