Where is everyone staying for PIR? I have been reluctant to book anything untill I get the official "I'm a sailor" call. Don't want to jinx anything. I am driving from central Illinois so I don't need to worry about transportation luckily. I am just overwhelmed by all the places that are suggested. And by the horrible hotel reviews I've read. I'm staying for 3-4 days since my son will be attending A school at GL. Also, I keep hearing that Sarges meet and greet is better that Flanigan's. Is that true? Who's going? I signed up for Flanigan's before I knew about Sarges. Guess I could cancel. I appreciate any suggestions! Only 21 more days! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!

We are going to try the Ramada. We like to stay somewhere that has some type of breakfast. Just easier. They also have a meet and greet. Driving in from Michigan and not knowing what the weather will be like, we thought that staying there with the meet and greet at the same location would be nice. If you click on each of the events you can see who has RSVP'd for each. I am counting down the days also!!
We went ahead and made the reservations with the same idea of being able to cancel or change if need be.

Hey all, just a reminder, if you haven't already, please join in on our PIR's Facebook page. I have noticed that many of us have transferred there, as it is a lot easier to connect and share our posts. We also have a document under the page that we have created to keep track of who is who and what division our SR is in! Thank you!
Here is the link to the Facebook group page:
