Navy Lodge Reservations
I just made my reservations at the Navy Lodge for August 25 PIR. Should I be greatly concerned that the person taking my reservation and credit card information is not actually in Great Lakes? I didn't know that until everything was done. She was joking with me about me getting her Alabama football tickets and I told her I could bring her a tshirt and then I found out she's in Jacksonville, FL.

We are staying at the Navy Lodge as well!! Are you guys going to the meet n greet? I also signed us up for the "My Navy Taxi" services to and from the airport. I thought the price was very good.

We are driving in and due to husband's work schedule, won't be able to leave until Thursday morning. It's a 12 hour drive so I doubt we will make it in time for the meet and greet. I'm sad but it's the price I paid in order for hubby to attend.

When making a reservation with the Navy Lodge if you personally don't have DoD identification your reservation must be in your recruits name. Since it is a federal hotel for federal employees not just anyone can stay there. When you put the reservation in your SRs name s/he becomes your sponsor to stay at the hotel. You can straighten it all out when you get there, but I would suggest you call the Navy Lodge directly (not the reservation line) and get that taken care of.
It is always best to call the hotels directly when making reservations for PIR, or changing reservations.

Em's mom, here's a link to info on the meet n greet. You can make a reservation here. It's the Thursday evening before they graduate on Friday. This Sarge and his wife put it on weekly. He also owns the taxi service. I spoke with him the other day, very nice man. http://www.mynavytaxi.com/events.html
