There have been so many questions and answers about PIR that we need one place to be a clearinghouse to help experience a PIR.

Did anyone who attended PIR, drive a car to PIR but send other family members via taxi or shuttle? I'm thinking since the shuttle people who get in ahead of car people they could hold a spot. Then once PIR is done we wouldn't have to wait for a taxi or shuttle or if we wanted to go out to eat we woun't have to go back to the hotel for our car.

FYI
If your son is grad n go, you might think about flying out of O'hare also. It gave us an extra 6 hours with our son the morning after.

Thanks Mark, too late I bought them already. I did check and it would have been about $175 less for the four of us total BWI to MKE, VS Philly to Midway. Its not really a savings for us adding in the parking $$; gas, tolls and hassle of a 2 hr. drive to BWI vs. 20 mins to Philly with a friend dropping us off and picking us up. I did forget about BWI, so I am glad it wasnt a big difference for I'd have been kicking myself !

Todd, check on flights from Baltimore to Milwaukee. They had some really cheap rates earlier this month. Might be worth the drive down to Charm City.

Jim I get the oppurtunity to join Paul in the 2 timers dads sometime next year as my youngest son says he wants tofollow his brother into the NAVYand wants to be an M.A.. I do have the privilage to also have my youngest sons best friend joining the Navy also. He ships out for basic in 50 days. and I almost feel as proud for him as I did when Trevor was getting close to his ship date.

hey Jim and Tim....I've done two PIRs (Oct '05 and Mar '07)...and I still go back and re-read this stuff all the time!!!
Jim Gramza Comment by Jim Gramza on February 27, 2010 at 9:13pm
Tim, I thought I was the only one that did that! My son's PIR was in May of 2008 and I still read them too. I will probably never get the privalege of seeing a PIR again. ...sigh...

go back to the last post Tad and start reading there. you'l find that some things are repeated time and time again but these are the things that you will need to know most for your wonderful day with your sailor and their next step in life toward a journey of a lifetime.
My son P.I.R.'d a year and a half ago and I still go back and read all of the old posts just to remember the feelings that I had that day. This will truely be one of those events that you will remember for a lifetime. Everytime I see a new posts from a dad in here about how they just got back from P.I.R. and no matter how many of these posts and how many times they read them there was still an awesome feeling that they had never expected. It is truly an awesome experience and one that I hope I will get to experience again.
