I have not heard from my son either :( The form letter came and the box.. but no real letter - I did talk to the Public Relations Office in Great Lakes regarding the date and the girl told me that the PIR date for Div 016 is the day before Thanksgiving...Just like lemonelephant has told us... Love this site. It is so helpful.

I would give the Navy Lodge a call. Call them directly though don't use the web to make the reservation. It is not a fancy hotel, but we found it to be just what we needed, the price is great and the staff is friendly and helpful. You may have to make the reservation under your SRs name, but it is not a problem to do so. The hotel is not on the base, but it is located in the family housing subdivision.
The meet and greet information is on the main page or if you look to the right from this page you can also find it. At the top of the page are yellow rolling smiley things there is a clickable link to all the information. Sarge's is probably the most informative meet and greet and he is very helpful.

Pink, can you believe I have not gotten my box or my letter yet? Oye Vey! Well tomorrow is 2 weeks, if I don't see anything by week 5, I will start calling to figure out what to do. It's not the end of the world, as he can give me the information in a letter home, but the cell phone that is only a year old would be nice to get back!
Anyhoo...I booked a hotel for Tuesday thru Sunday, but I'm thinking of cancelling Thursday thru Sunday. I live 60 miles south of base, but they have a rule about going more than 50 miles away. I understand that they will probably allow him a special chit to come home during those days. It's a lot of driving, but I figured we can split it up amongst family and friends. I signed up for Sarge's meet and greet, I can't wait to meet everyone!
