my daughter and I will be staying at the Ramada as well! I don't know if you are planning on flying or driving Flashlites, but through Expedia.com I got a great deal on flight + hotel!

Hi Dest W, I have already made my reservations for the Country Inn. I am worried that we do not have a Meet & Greet posted by now. There are ones for May 14 & 21 and they seem to be organized by someone staying at the Ramada. Do you or does anyone reading this know what the procedure for this is? Thanks

Yes, I believe that is the hotel that the meet and greet it at. What exactly is that? Just for the families? I only get a letter a week also. hope to get a call soon. I live about 45 minutes from Groton sub base. It is not too far from Mystic or the Casinos. I have never been there, but I know my son went there for some training with the recruiters in Conn. I am sure he will like the area. I think my son is going to Mississippi, but not sure. He entered as administration, but said at one point he could try out for other jobs if there was an opening, but have not heard.

Hi all, I just wanted to answer some of your questions on the Ramada Meet and Greet. The hotel puts it on for the whole family. Kids are allowed in until 10 pm. The put out food and if your staying there you get two drink tickets per person. They are a great group of people that put this together for us. When I went back in March I couldn't believe all they did. You don't have to be staying at the hotel to go.
