Just putting this idea out there for your group. It is totally voluntary. Some of our past PIR groups have gotten together and put together State themed gift baskets/boxes/bags or really, any great idea would work, to be raffled off at Sarge's Meet & Greet on the Thursday evening before PIR. This is great fun and would help offset the costs of Sarge and his wife as they do these meet and greets every week to help our Navy families. If someone would like to start a Basket Project for this group, please let Sarge know (847-212-0246) and start a discussion up in the Discussion Forum for the ladies here to pop into to express their interest~~ Thank you~
ChelseysMom,
The gate pass link is not available until about 2 weeks before PIR~~ Think there is a designated drop-off area to bring your new Sailors back to RTC, not sure if it is on base or just outside the gates. You can call the Navy Lodge to find out when those shuttle return times back to the hotel would be.
I'm going to put the announcement for those interested in participating in a Basket Project for Sarge's Meet & Greet up above. It would be wonderful if you would like to be Sarge's contact for this group!
Blessed Sunday!
"The reward for trusting Him will be
the salvation of your souls."

diannep - you mention downloading a gate pass if driving on the base for PIR - do you have a link to get to where we get that at. I'm not sure what we are doing as far as riding a shuttle or not. I saw several times offered for getting to the area in the morning but i'm unsure how often does the shuttle run to take guests back to their hotel/Navy Lodge? And our SR can ride back with us on the shuttle then if we need to take them back would we need the pass to get them back to their area?
Also, there was a post about putting together a basket for Sarge's Meet and Greet and now I'm not finding it, but it may have been on the facebook page :/
Good Morning!
((HUGS)) NancyM!

You are very welcome, NancyM! Hope all is well.
Good Morning All !
Thank you CatMom and diannep for your thoughts. I know my daughter's intentions were well meant and I believe we be on good terms in no time, I can't stay angry at any of my children for long. My SR did not know the young man killed in the accident. I believe my daughter is beginning to understand my point of view. Thank you for your input.
