@laurensmom we took the shuttle when my sons PIR 9/17. At that time there was so much construction. Najee sure you get there early to go thru security ect but also to get a good srat on the bleachers. We got there about 1.5 hours early and had to cram into the bleachers. It seemed like most of the sailors wanted to show the NEX off and the grounds off we stayed at the Mariott Courtyard because it was a suite and there were so many of us. My son couldn't decide where to eat he said because he hadn't made decisions in so long. He had to be back by 8pm because his plane left for a school at 2am. Oh they can't smoke,drink alcohol or be seen out of uniform after PIR. He will be in his dress whites so they are really cautious about what they do. You will see a lot of sailors as well as "officers" while you are there. Any other questions I'll try to think of info
