That is the best path to take! Let your new sailor call the shots after PIR. Some just want to get back in your hotel room and take a long hot shower...alone....after many weeks of showering with shipmates, timed showers! Then they may want to put on some "civies" (regular clothes, bring them with you) to relax in the room. Remember, they cannot be out of the room out of uniform....not even to walk down the hallway. Others have been cooped up so long that they want to get out and go somewhere. There is a nice mall nearby, Gurnee Mall---full of sailors!!. Six Flags is nearby too, but they will be in their dress Whites and won't want to get them dirty, so maybe not a good place to go on PIR Day. Chicago is about 35 min away and there is a train station next to RTC that will take you there. Just be mindful of your time....they cannot be late returning to base.....big trouble. They have a good walk to their ships too, so allow lots of return time!

My husband and I did the same thing. I believe we'll hear from them within the next couple of days. Hope you all have a blessed week!! We'll all be anxiously awaiting comments being posted for the I'm a Sailor calls for the remaining Divisions that finish Battle stations.

Did you get a call yet? Keep thinking they should call & confirm everything. I guess he would call for sure if something pushed graduation back, but I'm getting anxious.
