The Form Letter Intended Guest List / The Access List for Graduation (PIR)

[FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW]

The Intended Guest List for PIR on your Form Letter is filled out by your Recruit. This information is for you, to let you know who they wish to invite to PIR. It may have the full names of the intended guests or simply say, “Mom, Dad, Sis, Bro.” No worries, this will be fixed later by your Recruit J

There are no tickets needed for PIR.

Your Form Letter does not gain you or those listed on it entry to PIR.

In order to enter Midway Ceremonial Drill Hall on PIR day you must be on the Access List for PIR.

Your Recruit fills out the Final Access List form. This is submitted to Security to make the main Access List for the whole TG (Training Group) for PIR day. Your Recruit is the only one authorized to do this. They will fill out this form about 7-10 days before PIR.

If you need to discuss the Access List with your Recruit please write them to coordinate. If there is a change in the intended guests (someone can’t go) please write your Recruit as soon as that happens so they have the information before they fill out the final list.

Once the final Access List is submitted to Security they cannot make changes to it.

 

Here is the official info from the RTC Websites FAQ’S:

Q.

When will I receive tickets/passes to graduation?

A.

+/-

There are no actual tickets or passes. Recruits list the names of up to four guests that will be included on the access list. Recruits cannot obtain additional “tickets” from other recruits.

(*NOTE - This should actually say "three or four" depending on the size of the TG.)

Q.

I am not sure I am on the access list. Can you find out and make changes if I am not?

A.

+/-

It is the recruit’s decision whom to place on the access list. Please communicate with your recruit well before the final week of training to be sure the right names are on the list. The Public Affairs Office does not have a copy of the access list as they names on the list are not divulged to the public. No additions, deletions or changes will be made to the access list the week of graduation.
