If your sailor is grad n go, make sure and go to the airport when they go on the bus. They made an announcement at PIR that those sailors can take their cell phones until the get on the plane to communicate with you. We knew exactly when the bus was leaving GL and heading to the airport. They can get a pass for you through security to wait with them in the USO office for a while and then to some free time. We went to the food court and ate with him and then to the gate to sit an wait. We talked for about 3 hours which was wonderful. I watched him go to the gate to board and he waved and smiled. He was very happy to get out of GL and head out.
