I recieved the coveted Paid-In-Full Invoice Friday and immediately called GL at Ft Mead to try to arrange a pickup for Fri the 19th of Sept. Of course all I got was a recording and got to leave a message. Noone returned my call, so I have no idea if I can pickup next Fri. Since this is a 600 mile+ trip, I need to be able to plan it out a little bit.
Does anyone know how strict/difficult getting a pickup time is at Ft Mead?
And is anyone else planning to be there next Fri?
I'll be there friday Sept. 19 at 10:00am to pick up my M1008
I talked with the site manager [i think her name was sarah ] nice person and easy to work with, she said she had openings for all day [9am-11am & 12:30-1:30] on friday.
I called and left a message[Wed.] and she called me back the following day[Thurs].
Keep in mind that you can only be scheduled on Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday from 9:30-1:30 I think.
Also, when you go to Ft Meade.....do NOT listen to the directions on GL's website. It sends you to the commercial gate. They will not let you in. You have to go through the main entrance on the other side of the base. When you go into the base tell them that you bought a deuce & need to go the the DRMO building on Rock Avenue.
The first trip to the base, they searched my car & looked under it with mirrors. Make sure you dont bring any weapons onto the base, or you will get arrested.
Here are the directions that I had to go from the main gate to the GL office.
I checked the satellite view & made sure it was right.
If I understand correctly, you entered on Reece Rd? Then proceeded to Ernie Pyle and then down to Rock Ave?
And I am really glad to get Sarah's email. I will send a message tonight (even tho I know she won't get it till Monday morning!)

Yep!
The route I posted a link to is the exact same roads that I took to get to the GL building.

Great. I wrote Sarah an email and hopefully I will be there Fri sometime. Hopefully in the AM as I'd like to make it either home or at least close the same day.
Thanks for the info.
I also got my first EUC back on Friday. Like Bob, I called and did not get a call back. I just emailled Sarah. Thanks Daniel for the info and email address. I am shooting for Friday as well. pm me and I will give you my cell should you, or I, need assistance. Dudley
