    It not only talks about Sarge, but also about his Meet and Greet that he sponsors the night before PIR. It sounds like a great event, and my wife and I plan on attending.

    Hello, my son will be graduating this day as well. Can you tell me about Sarge? I have heard of him but that is about it. Thanks.

    Very cool! Where will you be travelling from?  We are in Kenosha, WI, so just over the border.

  • Michael....just keep an eye on the weather. As long as it doesn't snow a couple days before PIR you should be fine. They do a good job of keeping the main roads cleared around here. It still may not hurt to have a Plan B in place, just in case. As Jim suggested, call Sarge. If the weather ends up being bad, you can always cancel your rental car and get a ride from Sarge.

    Ron, We are flying from Lakeland, Fl. Out of Tampa to Milwaukee then renting a car from there if the weather is not bad. Kinda nervous about it though because we have never seen snow much less much less driven in it. Freddie, Sarge owns a taxi company that takes fantastic care of Sailors and their families. He host a meet and greet on the Thurs. night before that is supposed to be very nice and informative.
