Tips When Visiting Your Soldier For The Holidays


Find out how long your soldier has to visit with family. If your soldier is in training, you may only have certain days you can visit. Make sure you confirm exact dates for family days. Plan to arrive a day earlier to spend as much time with them as possible. You will need to find out if your graduate will be able to leave base while you are in town. Each unit may be different, so find out in advance so you can plan accordingly.

Book your stay early. There are many graduations and other family days happening on the same day, so book your stay early. We have lots of lodging options but if you are looking for a specific room type, lock it in early to ensure you get the exact room you want during your stay.

Plan out all details regarding entry into the military base. Plan to leave early due to many graduations and family days happening at the same time. There may be a line to enter the base, so leave early to make sure you are not late. Be prepared and have all documentation ready before getting to the base.
