    You hang out with your new shipmates. If you can't find it ask someone. Most likely a few hours.
    Fighting spirit.- You know what this is. Without it, you are only a human biped who wears pants. With it, you are a live, red-blooded go-getter-one who will succeed. Have you the grit to stay with a hard job? Never say "I can't." Forget there is such a phrase. Don't be a quitter. "A man may be down but never out" - until he admits it." -From the U.S. Navy Bluejackets' Manual circa 1940

    It is really easy to find and anyone who works there should be able to direct you to it. My flight got in late so it was only an hour and half for me, the people from Hawaii had been there since the AM.

    Word to the wise... DO NOT, DO NOT go out of the plane side of the airport. Once you are out and you will not be able to get back and the USO is on the side of the airport AFTER security! So do not follow those "Exit - No reentry" signs. TSA will not allow you to reenter!

    Go to this web site:  http://www.phl.org/terminal_map.html.  It is the terminal map of Philadelphia Int'l.  USO is located in Terminal A-East between gates A6 and A8.  Hope this helps.

    They have food computers TV and all your new shipmates there. i would use your food voucher prior to going in. Once in you can't get out. The food was good all volunteers are really nice and helpful.

    What happens if you live near Philly and are not coming off of a plane?

    I believe you just get escorted bu USO through security and wait there. Don't quote me but pretty sure that's what happens. Also All this will be explained to you in great detail and you even get a movie to watch the day of your ship date at MEPS.

    That situation I'm not sure how they handle it. But I do know it all gets worked out and your recruiter will make sure everything goes smoothly. We lived in NJ when my ex went to boot camp and we dropped him off at the recruiter and I saw him again at week 7. So I'm not sure what all happened then or now.
