is a great experience. There is a shuttle that runs between most of the hotels in the area and the base....that's the way to go as traffic greats CRAZY so be sure to ask when you register....I believe it's still very inexpensive ($3 each when Eric PIR'd in March '07). Get there early.....the place fills up fast. Each division will have an area marked for seating in the bleachers that is essentially directly in front of whey they will come to rest. It's chaos when liberty is announced to prepare to battle "millions" of fresh Sailors and theri families trying to meet up. I let out a HUGE Corona yell that Kat and Eric were both able to generally orient themselves to.
And...no matter how much testosterone is flowing, you'll probably be bawling like a baby.....lot's of us other dads have.....I did twice!!! Be sure to get a DVD of the PIR because it's really hard to film it on your own.........Enjoy!!
