After PIR and liberty

When PIR is done and they call Liberty Call Liberty Call the sailors get liberty.  Many people met their sailor at NEX on the RTC. They have to stay in their uniform during Liberty and have to be back by 7:00 or 8:00 PM.  You return them to the OHIO road gate on Berkley.  They will have that gate open and will let you drive in to drop them off and say bye. 

When you park for PIR you use Illinois entry which is on the East side of the RTC. 

If your sailor is leaving for school for somewhere other than Great Lakes they will catch their buss at 0100.  That's 1:00 AM and they drop off EVERY sailor that is flying out at O'hare

airport that day.  Some will be there a few hours and some all day until they leave.  Yes, all day at the airport.  Some sailors didn't fly out until 2230 that night.  My son left at 1030 that morning.  If you want to hang out with your sailor and they will be there later in the day I would sleep a little because you won't be able to talk to them much while they are checking their bags in the morning.  You can get into the terminals with them by getting a family pass "FROM THE AIRLINE" with your sailor present and you can spend time with them before they leave.  Frustrating but it-is-what-it-is.  Hurry up and wait.  It was worth it to me to see him and visit with him. 

I hope this helps?
