im planning to go pick up my husband for his homecoming from iraq on sept.30th. i dont get to talk to him much only every once a week so i need your help. i wanted to know where i go to get information on where to go when i get to the base because im from CALIFORNIA! so i wont know anything. i've been to nc twice but my husband's always been the one to take me around the base so i dont really pay attention. can taxi drivers go inside the base? cause im 19 and i wont be able to rent a car. =( is there an exact location where all the troops get dropped off at? or is there different locations and i need to ask someone(and who?) for the specific place. ooOo im so confused and i want to plan this out beforehand because im bringin our 17month baby.. and for mothers, you know how they are... running around everywhere and bein your little pain in the butt. but thanks everyone .. please please help.

OK the troops are usually dropped off at either Onslow beach, or the port at Morehead City(which is no where near Camp Lejeune.) I would suggest you contact the base' information office and they can direct you to where you need to go to get your information. The information office can also help you with getting on base, but you should be able to get on base with your military ID. Just check and get it in writing so that you can take it with you.
Good luck, and have fun!

Does his unit have a family support group? I would start with calling them.
If you cant find them, try the base Information, or Public Relations, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

All Marine units have family support groups. Contact yours. She will have the exact information on time of arrival, local airports, bus stations, etc. She may also be able to help you arrange lodging and transportation.

when you do go make sure you have your military id for you and the 17 month old as this will speed up the process. if you dont have it youll have to go all the drama of getting a visitors pass. not fun to begin with. less fun with a kid.

just ask the guard at the gate, and he will be able to direct you right where to go.
