Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Is there any way to get extras tickets for my sons Boot Camp Graduation?  I have been told we only get 4, and I could use 2 more.

There are NO tickets. Each recruit will write 3 or 4 names down (depending on the size of the TG) to be put on the Access List and only those 4 people are able to attend. Those not on the Access List need to wait at the hotel and watch the Livestream and meet up with the new Sailor after PIR. See http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp and http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/fam_guide.asp. The message from Captain W. Douglas Pfeifle, Commanding Officer at the RTC, about the limitation on guests can be found at http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/index.asp (click the link once you get there).

Danielle, there are no tickets and that piece of paper is The Form Letter and indicates who the recruit intends to place on the Access List 3 to 10 days before PIR. The names on The Form Letter are for the loved ones and can be changed up to the last week before PIR if those names are not the names of the people who will be able to attend. Your recruit, possibly Sailor now, wrote the names down for the Access List last week or will this week.

Also, the names listed on the access list must provide a Drivers LIcense or STate ID. So make sure everyone has one. I am sure there is an age limit as to who needs one. Last year when my daughter graduated, me, my husband and my two boys went. My sons were 17 and 9. They asked for an ID for everyone except my 9 year old but they did ask him to say his full name and then they asked him who he was there to see, and he said 'my sister' and then they asked him for his sister's name and he said her first name and then they asked him for her last name and then the guy checking us in told him to scream really loud for her when he sees her marching by. lol!
