Hello everyone! I am new to this group but my husband is in div 014! I just wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience going to PIR with a baby!? It might seem like an out of the blue question, but everything from the plane ride to the car ride to the actual graduation is eating at me! Can anyone give me some reassurance?

kim: Is your son going to be flying to Pensacola? I was trying to look at your page and figure that out. Looks like maybe he is?????
Scenario 1: If he is flying to Pensacola, he most likely will fly out on Sat. and just possibly from Midway-- but could be OHare (in that case, no, he would not be able to go to Midway with you...it is highly recommended that sailors DO NOT leave the airports once they are bussed there....big trouble if something happens and they miss their A School flights). If he flies from Midway (he will know by PIR) , that would work well since your daughter is flying from Midway too. No, he cannot ride in the car with you to take your daughter to the airport, but you can meet him out there (he will be bussed in the wee hours to wait for flights). If her flight leaves before his, then hopefully all of you would be allowed at her gate to visit since yo are a military family, but not sure on that. Like CatMom said, you would have to ask at the airport.
Scenario 2: If he doesn't fly out until Sunday, which sometimes happens, he will have Liberty with you on Sat. so should be able to ride to the airport with you since it is within the 50 mile radius they must stay in during Liberty.
Scenario 3: Staying in GL for A School....same as Scenario 2! He will have Daytime Liberty so could go with you to the airport, unless she had a very early Sat. morning flight. He will have "Liberty times" when he can be picked up/returned.
So the only way he would not be able to ride in the car with you is if he flies out on Saturday because he is then bussed with the other sailors.
I hope I answered your question????
