We just returned home from the March 8th graduation. For those of you planning on going in the future I would strongly suggest that you get in touch with Sarge(847 212 0246).. He will pick you up from the airport and drive you back to the airport the day you fly out. He gave me information on where to get the best deal on a rental car, which we used to drive our salior back to the base and where ever else we wanted to go. On Satyrday morning we drove to Midway to see our salior fly out.
Make sure you attend his Meet and Greet on Friday night. The dinner is very good and he gives you tons of great information. Avoiid the long line trying to get onto the base the morning of graduation and let Sarge drive you there and pick you up after the cermony.
Sarge has a network of drivers. They go out of thier way to make your trip stress free and they take really good care of you.Anytime I needed anything or just had a question he was always a phone call away. Do yourself and your salior a favor and give him a call.
