Open the pdf above to read recommendations that have been made in our group since A School move to FSH in 2011. After your visit, please add your recommendations below! If you have a question, post in the Comments page on the HM A School home page and then add whatever you learn here, so this Discussion stays on-topic and easy for others to browse though - thanks! :)
Car rental: if you bank with USAA you can get discounts on car rentals. Log in, go to "Our Products" then to "Travel Deals" (it's under "Shopping and Discounts" on the right side of the page). Read the deals and click on one of the car rental companies to book. FYI, sailors who are under 25 can get the underage fees waived by doing this too.

Thank you amber02888 for posting this in the Comments on July 23, 2015!
"I've gone to visit my fiance twice and we've booked my hotels thru this website: www.ihgarmyhotels.com.
The Candlewood Suites (Bldg 2426) was the perfect location on base, pet friendly and a great hotel overall. The Riverwalk is about a 10-15 minute drive from base."
