The day after the PIR we are told that they go straight to the airport at 1am. Do y'all know if we are allowed to get into the gate & wait with him till he flies out?

Family members of the military that will be coming to the airport to pick up or drop off their service members can go the the ticket counter of the carrier that the member is flying on and receive a pass to go directly to the gate to pickup or drop off the service member.
Midway International Airport USO: 773-582-5852
http://www.chicago-mdw.com Located in concourse C. To the right after going through metal detectors. Hours: Mon - Sun: 9am - 9pm.
The USO Midway does remain open 24 hours during inclement weather and if any military personnel are stranded in the airport overnight.
O'Hare International Airport USO: 773-686-7396
http://www.ohare.com Located in Terminal 2 above the Delta ticket counter on the mezzanine level, near the chapel. Take elevator up and follow the signs.
My son was Grad n Go. We spent some quality time after graduation, and then I had to get him back on base. They were leaving early in the am to the airport, some to O'Hare and others to Midway. Make sure you know where they will be flying out off. My son was flying out of O'Hare at noon on Saturday so I arrived at O'Hare at 5 am and spent several hours with him at the USO. The USO is on the second floor. Ace rental was great. Since I still had the rest of the weekend before flying home, they allowed me to leave the car I rented from them at their location, take their shuttle to O'Hare, and then take the return shuttle to pick up my car. No extra charges. Best of Luck to you and your family, and our family's thanks to your loved one for serving our Country.
