Hello All-
My daughter is in Ship 07 Div 345. Got "the box", the form letter, and found our first letter from her in the mailbox yesterday! The time seems to go slow but actually is flying by! I can't wait to get to Great Lakes for the pass-in-review! I am going to begin investigating travel plans this afternoon. The magnitude of information is a bit overwhelming, but there is something I have not been able to find. Supposedly we will have access to the base and our recruits the day before pass-in-review for a "family day". Has anyone received any information on this? Looking forward to sharing with you guys, it's nice to find the fellow families whose kids are stationed with mine!

Just thought I would give you my insite to PIR since I am supporting a young lady who is in this ship and division who is friends with my son who is currently in San Diego. When we attended his PIR in Great Lakes in May we learned that the best way to get to PIR is via Taxi. They charge a flat rate from the hotels to the gate. If I recall it was like $20.00 one way. They know when PIR is over and they come right back and pick you up. The guards around the base are very helpful and are very willing to help you. When I was there the base was on lock down due to the fact that we just got Bin Laden but my son has told me that the security status had went down prior to him leaving GL in August. It is important to get to PIR early that morning if you want to sit in front of your SR's division. If you have questions, I would be happy to help you as we also lived there for 12 years prior to moving to Texas.

My son is also 07/345...I am sooo looking forward to PIR....I did a tour in the Navy quite a long time ago...I have to say, there are some moments when it sucks being on this side of boot camp & PIR! At least when he is in a school he will be closer so I can pop down and see him!
