My son flew from Dayton Ohio into Atlanta. He had a 3 hour layover then left ATL at 530 and flew into Meridan airport approx 600. They are an hour behind on Cental time. Took cab from airport to base. I read that they only do 2 flights a day from Atlanta to Meridan

What airport do they fly from? What time do they arrive in atl?

I was able to get my son a flight from Atlanta into Meridian. Then he shared cab with others heading to base. If it was just him the fare was only going to be $30.00. About a 30 min ride

Ctav, from what I've read they fly to Atlanta than to Jackson mi where they either have to rent a car or taxi to meridian. Doesn't sound like an easy place to get to. I read here that the cab was $200 ride so she should be prepared to pay that fare. Good luck to her. My son will arrive 2/2.

My daughter is heading for Meridian hopefully sometime in January. She's not coming from Boot Camp, but from Goose Creek, SC (she failed out of Nuke A-School). Does anybody have any idea when classes are forming and what she might have to expect travel-wise? Thanks.

I am sure he can get one on base. Also in town there is a AT&T store and several other places. There are 2 Walmarts and SAMs and Best Buy

My boyfriend graduated from BC on the 28th. He is now in Meridian, MS for A School! He is trying to buy a cell phone out there. Does anyone know if there is anywhere that he can get one or do I need to try to send him one?

For starters, I was just there yesterday and you can't go through the front gate without your sailor. He has to meet you at the front gate. We called our son on his cell and he came up to the front gate while we waited at the building right outside the gate. We had a rental car, and needed our rental agreement and driver's license and my son showed his military id. If you have your registration for your car and your license, you should be okay.

To Knittycat10...My son was just there less than 2 months ago for A school, and I just asked him about what your asking, and he said unless they just changed the rules you didn't have to be related. Most usually all bases if your a visitor will ask to see registration of the vehicle. In Meridian he has to be picked up on quarterdeck, so you actually have to go in passed the gates, safety and rules. My suggestion to you would be to go with his sister. The guards at the gate will tell you if it's not okay and tell you what you need to do, just make sure you both have ID with you.
