| Getting to The Ship Arriving by plane? If you are flying in to Bremerton, you will most likely arrive at SeaTacAirport, Seattle and Tacoma's main airport. If you are arranging for the sponsor team to pick you up, they will need to know the airline you are flying in on so they can be waiting at the proper terminal. If the sponsor team is not there or there was a last minute change in your flights, contact the quarterdeck at (360)476-5533 or 476-5474. The command duty driver can be dispatched to pick you up at the airport. Be aware that it may take awhile ( up to one hour) before the duty driver can pick you up. You may choose to use the Kitsap Airporter instead (see below). USO WWW.USOPSA.ORG To make it easy for everyone, plan to meet at the USO. The United Service Organization (USO) is open 24 hours a day.
