sher85, I checked your page and don't see where you posted about photos. We still have a few photos, but we gave the larger ones to important family members along with wallet photos for each and then gave one to special friends and for a few bulletin boards to honor service members.  Division T-Shirts, Graduation Photos, The Keel, and DVD of PIR within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and the discussion above tell more including about payment.

No, there will not be individual photos again.  Your Sailor will be able to buy a large photo of the class if he wants, but that's about it.  You can double-check that within the Pre-BUD/S Moms group, but that is how it was for mine for "A" School and "C" School.

Any suggestions when to get the best deep dish pizza?

Can't visit Chicago or GL without deep dish pizza...

Thank you to everyone who voted for Recruit Man-Ronny.  When voting closed he was ahead, so I hope that when they declare the winner that it is him.  Ronny does a lot for our recruits by providing free phone cards through http://callsforrecruits.org/. While you're thinking about it, if you are able, please make a donation at http://callsforrecruits.org/ to help with the cost of the cards.

Mamasan59, you may be better off to drive if you have that option.  The shuttle will drop you off at the main gate.  It is about 100 yards to the Visitors Center from the gate and then about the same to the Drill Hall. If you drive, you can park in handicapped parking and get a wheelchair into the Visitors Center and Drill Hall. Sarge may have another suggestion for you.  His cell phone number is 847-212-0246. Be sure to go to his Meet and Greet the night before PIR.

Question where do the shuttles drop you off when going to the PIR?  I am handicapped and walk very slowly with a walker. (can't walk long distances)  Any suggestions?  We understand there is a shuttle from our hotel.

Paula, Tomorrow is Sunday and he will have holiday routine and will be able to write for the first time, so look for a letter this week.  See Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) for more on that.  You may want to join that group and check out the other Pages (found under the pictures of the members) while you are there.

lavendergrl8, I'm not sure where we are staying but most likely one of the top 3 or 4 hotels that always seem to be rated well by others on here.  We need to fly out of LAX, and i have two choices for direct flights, either fly into Ohare or Milwaukee.

My daugher lives in between both airports and said Milwaukee is easier to get in and out of but that Ohare is closer to the Naval base.   I plan on staying in Waukegan so that I'm close to the base, only 4-5 miles.

Since our son's are in divison 800 "special Opp' we are not suppose to list their first or last names from what I have read.
