creolemommy: They take pictures a little later in Bootcamp. If they pay for them, they can mail them home or hold them for you to receive after PIR (they return to their ships to get them). If they don't pay for them, you pay/pick them up in the Photo Lab after PIR.

Hotels recommended by others on this site have been:
Navy Lodge (be careful if your sailor is staying in GL for A School though...sometimes those sailors are not granted "chits' to visit family in Navy Lodge....seems to be hit or miss)....
Also, Springhill Suites (right next MeetandGreet held the night before PIR....Sarge's), Courtyard, Holiday Inn Express, Residence Inn. Call these hotels directly (not the general hotel chain number, but the actual hotel) and ask for the Navy Grad discount. Navy Lodge has the cheapest rate though.

coachjb: If your sailor is headed to an out of town A School, then your sailor will most likely be bussed to the airports late PIR night, to wait for Sat. flights. You can meet your sailor at the airport and wait until departure if you bring ID and get an airlines gate pass. Most families head to the airports around 3-4 a.m. since that is about the time the sailors will start checking in. Once they are all checked in and have helped you get your gate pass, you can visit with them in the airport.
If you sailor is staying in GL for A School, then you will have Daytime Liberty through the weekend. They must return to base each night. They move over there shortly after PIR is over (takes a few hours) and then you pick your sailor up over there.

No, I am afraid I cannot. Only your Recruit knows when they are going through Battlestations.
That information may not be posted publicly a it breaks OPSEC, so if you find out please do not post it on here. Some do share it privately through the private messaging system here on N4M's.
