When should we book lodging for PIR?
Do we need to wait on information from our son to book lodging for PIR? Or, since we know it should be the first weekend in October can we go ahead and make travel arrangements now? Thanks!

I think the earlier you book the better. You can always cancel within 24 hours, if needed. I would totally recommend the Navy Lodge, it is less than 5 minutes from RTC and the people were awesome. I was just there last weekend and it was very nice and clean. https://www.navy-lodge.com/lodge_page.html?p_lodge_number=05

So you have the form letter? Once we got the form letter , we called Navy Lodge and reserved (we needed 2 rooms) By the next week, they were full for our weekend. so do that quickly. we waited on the flight, anything can happen to set them back. We have decided to drive (from SC) because we don't the date he flies out of great lakes (his A school is in VA) could be saturday or Sunday, and i need to meet him at the airport to give him his cell and laptop. One of the moms in our group has a flight out saturday and just found out he flies out sunday, so if you do go with flights, i would encourage you to book it out on Sunday, unless your recruit stays in Great lakes for school, then fly out monday.
