Comment by janlee on March 7, 2011 at 10:34pm: ggnavygf---LOL...thats okay, your allowed to forget things now....after all, your BF just joined the NAVY and your mind is in a total FOG...haha!

Comment by SailorsLove (Ship09 Div139) on March 7, 2011 at 10:24pm: Oh duh, completely forgot that brochure he sent me had hotels, thank you :)

Comment by janlee on March 7, 2011 at 10:20pm: ggnavygf--in the brochure your SR sent home, there is a list of hotels in the GL area. I see by your screenname that your are a GF, so maybe you SR's family can help...if not, just google 'hotels in the Waukegan, IL' and you should find a bunch. There are tons of hotels up there.

Comment by SailorsLove (Ship09 Div139) on March 7, 2011 at 9:50pm: I know of Navy Lodge now, are there any other hotels that I should look at in the area? Or just go with Navy Lodge?

Comment by janlee on March 7, 2011 at 9:40pm: dreamcruise--yes, it is within walking distance...:))

Comment by janlee on March 7, 2011 at 9:26pm: bn4gvn--usually what causes a PIR date to change is the recruit themselves. They may be injured..or they may be struggling with the academics, failing their PFA's, or causing trouble and not being a 'team player'. These are usually the causes of being moved back to another PIR date. Also, the could go in and be held up because the RDC's are waiting for the divisions to fill up and instead of "pushing" then thru, they hold them up. PIR's are held on Fridays, but if there is a holiday in there, that can also affect the PIR date.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on March 7, 2011 at 9:19pm: How common is it for the PIR dates to change? I have a friend that said her son's did SEVERAL times/

Comment by Sherri0210 PIR 4/22(Ship 3/148) on March 7, 2011 at 9:15pm: Just an FYI- there is now only one 4/22 group and this is it!!!

I fixed the other group back to 4/29 5/6. Sorry for the confusion, if I caused any...
