OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
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."

There is no more gate pass needed- that was a previous way to get on base. All that will be needed is your tickets you will pick up before PIR.

I thank you CeejO347 for the information; it's been awhile since we were at the PIR so I couldn't remember if we did need a gate pass. This will certainly help JosephD I am sure!

I have tried that website many times and still can't find anything about a gate pass.
We plan on driving onto the base with our rental car. On the form letter I received, it said we would need a gate pass. I'm not sure if you were including driving onto the base? -

Make sure you are reading the area for grad after Jan 2018.
I will look for the info for you I just had PIR on 4/13 and they no longer get use gate passes.
all you will need is your ticket, photo id, rental car contract and insurance. Oh and don’t forget your seat belt - big law in Illinois.

JosephD, There are no longer gate passes. The tickets you pick up at the Recruit Family Welcome Center before PIR are the way you get on to base. In order to get on to base everyone two and older must have their ticket and identification.
You form letter should have nothing about a gate pass, and I am not sure where you got that link.

Ellen0502 - I have seen other comments on BC Moms group with people saying their form letters mentioned Gate passes, well after the change over. Not sure where that is coming from but FUBAR happens as my husband would say. (That has been awhile ago, but the possibility for wrong info getting out is still there.)
Anyway, if I had been on earlier I would have said something to JosephD, but we are visiting with our married children for the day, and I just got back on the site.
Thanks for your response, although I noticed you joined the group, just so you could reply.

I got the link from the form letter I got on week 2 of her being at RTC. In that same letter, it said I would receive a password to obtain the gate pass. My wife later told me that I would get the password about a week before graduation.

JosephD, Your wife should have added you (and anyone else she wants there) to a list...perhaps you even filled out the paperwork with things like birthdays and DL #s. That list goes to the ticket people. You will pick up your tickets at the NEX...be sure to do that the day before if you can, or be there super early the morning of. They do shut down and won’t give tickets after a certain time (8:00 a.m. I think). When we were there for my step-son’s PIR there was a lady in the parking lot who had gotten to the NEX at 8:05 and they were already closed.
We go for my next son’s PIR in August...and we have already discussed getting there 20 minutes before the opening time the day before because the line gets long.

I did get that and sent it back to her after filling out all the required information. I definitely plan on getting the tickets as soon as I arrive in great lakes.
