We went to Sarge's at the Sundance. The entire place was ours. Food was set up in the front. More then enough room for everyone.Awesome way to meet Mom's and families you have spent the past 8 weeks growing and getting used to Navy life with. Sarge is a wealth of knowledge. We used his parking tip, having my Mom with us and her walker, she actually didn't need walker, it was such a short walk. Listen to him when he says don't overbook those few hours you have your Sailor. Sarge pays for the food himself out of pocket. It's important for him to have an accurate head count so he can order accordingly. Our group of Mom's have wished a couple times we could go back and sit in the Sundance a few times since our May 25th PIR.

We arrived at Sarge's Meet N Greet early and there were not a lot of people there. There is a free food buffet - as i recall it was spaghetti & meatballs and fruit. There is a bar and big dance floor, but no one was dancing. People were ordering drinks.
Some of the Moms had made scarves with different colors designated for the various divisions so that we could identify each other from our communications on this website (it was cold in March). We met up with those moms and chatted, took pictures. As I recall, Sarge's presentation and question and answer was in the second hour. I did not stay for it because I wanted to go to the Ramada Meet N Greet, but it was basically over when I arrived - so I recommend staying for the Q & A.

kristy - Meet and Great with Sarge is great! He is very knowledgeable and he provides plenty of food (it's free and delicious).
He is really a nice guy and a wealth of information. Highly recommend it!
