I just talked to sarge..it is $3 per person from the navy lodge. I have 8 going...financially would it be better to have him do it? or change motels, I will lose out on the kitchen if I change to Ramada for $79...

the $3/person is what Sarge quoted me. He also recommended Spring Hill to me but I really wanted a kitchen and he said they don't have that there, not for $66/night. We are driving so its not really a big deal, my hubby just doesn't want to drive onto base..wait in the long traffic line. But there is the metro parking accross the street...

$3/person is a great price, I think. We only have me and my husband anyway. I'm assuming that's round trip from the lodge to PIR and back again. And, won't we have our sailors with us right after graduation for the day? Now I don't know what to do, so far Navy Lodge has been the best price....
