My son's PIR is 11/6/15 (Ship 04, Div. 820). We will be renting a car and wonder if it is better to drive or take the hotel shuttle to the PIR? He is staying in Great Lakes for A school so we heard after graduation it may take several hours for him to move to another location. Figured we would drive back later in the day to pick him up. Anyone have any thoughts. God bless out SR's!!!

depends on how much control you want to have of your time. we (4) were excited (drove) and got there early. ended up in front row (had our choice). Spent 45 minutes with him right after PIR and then drove back to hotel (we stayed at Homewood suites 5 miles away). then picked him at 3PM after he moved to new quarters with us till 8PM then back to base.  Saturday picked him up at 6AM stayed with us till 8 PM.

Take the shuttle!  Traffic can be nuts....let someone else do the driving and you can concentrate on PIR would be my advice. You can pick him up after he musters in at A-school
