Carl, we booked rooms at the Ramada in Waukegan. We got a 3 queen family suite for 125.00 a night, and a 2 twin room was around 75.00. They have a complimentary shuttle to pir, gift for the new sailors, host a meet-n-greet for families on Thursday, and offer discounts on meals at their resteraunt. There are a lot of people talking about the Navy Lodge also. We picked the Ramada more for the shuttle service, so we didn't have to waite in traffic to get on base.
Hey Carl, hard to believe we're single digit midgets. Seems like forever ago that buck left for boot camp, and we only have 8 days and some change till PIR. Buck has battle stations on Thursday, when does Carl go. I could sense the relief in the letter we got today that the end is near. His spirits were high, and said to bring him some Easter candy, as he was thinking about it all day Sunday. Well, I hope the next week flies by as I am sure you are also. Hav a safe trip and maybe we will see you at one of the many meet-n-greets. Tom.
Carl, Buck has battlestations tonight, so we should get our call tomorrow hopefully. We are driving from Ohio on Thursday morning, should be there around 3pm if all goes well. After we check in we have to meet my mother inlaw about an hour west of Waukegan and drive back. After all the driving, will probably crash awhile and go to the meet and greet for awhile. Hope to see you there. Tom
