We passed along the phone at the airport, but our son bought his computer out there. There was a BIG road trip to Best Buy. I guess all the guys wanted to get something electronic with their new found wealth. :)
Cell service in the area is horrible. The first time our son called from the base, his call was dropped about 10 times. He's persistant, because he kept calling back. :) It can be a bit frustrating, but not a big deal.

Yup, they are. The problem is getting them to the sailor. They can not be brought to GL. Some parents meet their sailors at O'Hare and hand over the computer and phone there. We simply mailed them to our sailor and he got them within the week, though mail at GC is not good. Once there if they want internet, it is at their expense.

Did I read somewhere on here that they are allowed cells and laptops at GC right out of BC? Anyone?

Well, the boy sailor finally called the 8oo number on the back of his atm card and they helped him get his pin. He calls me and said "Hey they were really helpful on the phone". If I could reached through the phone and "Gibb slapped" him, I would have. Sometimes I think he was kicked by one of those fabled "Missery" Mules when he was young.

I know that my sailor started accounts with Navy Fed there on base after he had been down there for several months. I assume it is easy to reach and has many if not all services available not just an ATM.

Do any of the old hands here know if there is a full service branch of Navyfed on the NNPTC or one close?
Or how does one get from the campus to one?
Need a full service branch not a atm!

Our son also said that they flew on a small regional jet, not a large one. It was rather cramped. This must be fairly standard as he flew to GC back last April.

Yes, the USO is an option too. It was nice going down to the gate though because we actually got to see the plane. I know that a lot of the groups had made arrangements to make sure they got through security by a certain time. They have lots of places to eat and sit down by the gates.
BTW...the plane they took was REALLY small which was a shocker to my son. He was thinking it would be a big jet. :o)
