When is your SR's PIR?
There are a couple of things that I can suggest for PIR......
1. Don't use your flash on your camera. They will come out dark.
2. Sit on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd row to get the best seat.
3. Get there early!!!! Get the best seat that way. :)
4. Buy one of those seats that you can sit on. Those bleachers are HARD!!!
5. Drive in on OHIO street. You'll go straight into the parking lot and into the Navy museum. A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE SOME FANTASTIC PICTURES!!!
6. Meet your SR in the NAVY FEDERAL Bank next to the NEX. They have coffee, a warm place to sit if it is windy or cold and it has windows that face their ship.
7. Take pictures of any thing that interests you. You will find that they will bring back memories. Because you will forget in all the excitement things that you saw.
8. You do NOT have to print off your gate pass if you are staying at the Navy Lodge or Ramada. I stayed at the Navy Lodge. It was GREAT!! A mile and a half away from the base.
9. Do only what your SR wants to do. The reason is that they are so cooped up and finally get out. Expect you SR to be a little skittish because of BC. They have to get used to figuring out that someone is NOT going to come yell at them all the time. :)
10. Buy a commemorative coin at the concession stand. They are $9 each and they are really cool looking. Great to give as a gift.
That is about all I can think of right now. :)
