It will have the password that you'll need to download to get your parking permit. If you don't get get the password, it isn't the end of the world, but without a parking permit you will want to stay at a hotel that has a shuttle service to the base (there's usually an option 2 if option 1 isn't working)! Many of the area hotels do provide shuttles. Good luck!!

My son went the same day. He called me that evening to let me know he made it alright. I just got his box of personal items today which included everything he had on him except his wallet and glasses. We should be recieving a letter by next week that tells us his group and division and I think their address too so that we can start to write them. I am sending in the first letter I send some stamps and a calling card. (Patti)
