Basically they can walk to the NEX without the RDC's being right there. They don't get to leave base or anything just a bit more freedom. YEA!!!!! For them.
Finally coming together!

my husband said on the phone that he had run out of envelopes and was hoping theyd be able to go to NEX soon so he could buy a few more. he felt bad cuz we hadnt been getting letters.. so hopefully 334 is allowed to do the same.

I don't know it all depends on if they passed drill or not. That is how 333 earned it. I am sure that 334 did as well I believe they do all of that stuff together.

That is great! So they must have been doing drill with 333. The story was they were going to the NEX and if they had phone cards could call. At least that is what I had heard from on of the other moms. I did not get a call :) I think my girl was on watch!

Does anyone know how long the walk is from the parking area to the PIR ceremony-or is there a shuttle bus on the base?
-

All of this information is in the list of things on the right under member pictures. You will have to click on see all. From what I read the shuttle is about a half a mile walk and the parking is about 5 or 6 blocks. They say to wear comfortable shoes because you will be walking a lot.
Hope this helps. There are some helpful links about what to bring, where to eat, things to see. It is worth checking it all out.

Because the walk from parking or shuttle is a ways. I am not bringing one. I live in oregon and rain does not bug me. hahah.
Wind that is a different story, but it would probably blow the thing right out of my hand. LOL
