Karen, I have a 15 year old and my husband told me someone asked the same question on the RTC facebook page. They responded and said that a school photo id, birth certificate and social security card is required if you do not have a driver's license. (which my son does not have) Hope this helps....

Arwen: Thanks for your good advice. The "shuttle" situation sounds like it will be a chance!!
navymom74: I feel the same. As each hour passes, I get more and more excited!
I pray for all the recruits. I am expecting a call today, as I'm sure you are too. Good Luck!!! Hope to meet you 2/18/11. Don't know what I'd do without N4Ms!!!!!

Rewrite- sorry
cajunldr, the distance from parking to MCPON Hall -vs- the gate to MCPON Hall is exactly the same. However, both locations have recruits from the 900 divisions waiting with wheelchairs to help those who cannot make the long walk. There is no formal "handicapped" parking near MCPON Hall

Sorry I'm running late on reply today. Work has been insane.
cajunldr, the distance from parking to MCPON Hall and the gate to MCPON Hall is exactly the same. However, both lcoations have recruits from the 900 divisions waiting for those who cannot make the long walk.
The handicapped parking is NOT located near MCPON Hall, it is in the regular parking area.
julessrn - the "van" they speak of is taxi minivans. They consider "taxis" to be sedans - that's why they get away with calling it "shuttle" services. Because in Illinois if it's not a 4-door sedan, it's lot legally a taxi, it is called a "shuttle" or "van." They are splitting hairs, and are NOT honest with people. During my whole weekend there, I never saw a single hotel van/bus. It was ALL minivan taxis (and a couple of limosines).
If you want to be able to see your sailors, do NOT sit up front or down low. When they march by, you are so close, all you can see is a blur of black coats as they march by. And when they are lined up, you can't see anything but the first rank of sailors. I was in the 6th row, and the only reason I could see my son is because he is 6'5", he and one other sailor stood a head above all of the other sailors!
The best seating is in the front row of the balcony, and the back/top rows of the lower seating area.
Mustang Mom, you CAN call your own taxi. I have phone numbers for two good, trustworthy ones that I used when I was there. If you want the number, message me. Sarge was good too. We spent the whole weekend using taxis and trains, so I met a bunch of them.
Renick, at this point, anything you write will probably not get to your sailor. The RTC does its best to forward mail, but with 500- 1,500 sailors changing addresses wach week, they don't don't do very well. Most mail will get returned to sender, or lost forever.

It is possible that the remaining 4 are going tonight....but in a recent PIR group, some didn't call until the next day...but had actually gone through 2 nights before. Either way, calls should be coming tomorrow!

Thank youTheBobstersMom and Arwen. This is a relief. Yes he has all 3 of these forms of identification.

All guests over 18 are required to have an ID. Does he have a school ID?
