Alex's Mom, the number of sailors all depend on how many divisions have the same PIR. There are about 80 recruits in each division. My other son's PIR had 12 divisions. Ours now also has 12 divisions. so 80x12= 960. I guess with as many graduating, they only have four tickets per recruit.
All the hotels in the area are really good to the families. I stayed at the Navy Lodge back in Oct., and plan to stay there again this time.

Here is what I have experienced from my other son:
Tickets for PIR are 4 per recruit. The recruit is the only one who can add or change the names. If a recruit is not going to use all four, that person can add a person for a fellow recruit. I think, that if there is enough room, others without a ticket can be seated once all others are seated. It is not a tangible ticket, but your name on a list.
As to letters. You will get the form letter with all the information as well as four names your recruit has listed. Those names can be changed. Also there will be a few lines at the end for the recruit to add something. My younger son said "P-days suck, I love you"
Once they get settled into their new home, they are given time on Sundays to write. Some find time to write when the RDCs aren't watching. Letters are mailed on Sundays, so once the recruits start writing we all become "mailman stalkers"!!!! lol
As for the hotel, I went on Thursday in time for the "meet and greet" Thurs. evening and left Sat. Before you make plans, find out if your recruit is a "Grad and Go" If so, they will be flying out after PIR to their A School.
I just went through this last month, so this is all still fresh in my mind, so please keep the questions flowing. I know I had so many the first time. If it wasn't for this site, I don't think I would have made it!
Now I am back for round two!

Ladies, I hope everyone is doing well this afternoon. My younger son had his PIR on 10-16-09. I stayed at the Navy Lodge. It was $65.00 per night. Also, the Ramada Inn had a nice "Meet and Greet" on Thurs. night.
The next eight weeks will be so emotional for everyone!
I remember the first "real" letter I got. I stood on my front porch and just cried. I couldn't open it for a long time. My daughter finally told me to just open it!
But, oh the joy I felt when I saw him in his Dress Blues. I'm just a nervous and excited for my older son who is there now. I want to rush home and see if the box is there.
I know by the end of the eight weeks we will know each other so well. I am so glad to be here with such a wonderful group!

Well, I talked to the recruiter. Richard is Ship 3 Division 049. So it looks like I am in the right group.
I hope to go home to a box on my front porch and maybe the form letter this weekend.

I hope I am in the right group. My son left Monday, and I have not yet been able to get his Ship and Division number. His recruiter was out yesterday. I called today, but he just got there. He is going to look and call me back.
In the mean time, by looking at everything, I think this is the right group.
