Hi all! I have a question for anyone out there.. My ex and I are currently not speaking and I need to have my password so I can print off my parking pass for my SR's Grad. (He got the letter in the mail) I have emailed him and asked him for it, but have received no response. Does anyone know how I can get it? I figured calling his recruiter, but I have no idea, I'm very new to this.. Thanks!!

You still have plenty of time ask your son to send it to you.
No one is allowed to share the password with you except your SR. The form letter specifically says that you can not share the password with anyone outside of intended guests. It's only available on the form letter (so the recruiter won't have it and you will not be able to contact anyone/anyplace else to get it). But on the form letter, the SR wrote in the password, so he/she knows it. You can't use the password for the parking pass until 11 days before PIR, so you have time to get it either from your ex or your SR. And, don't forget, you can always take one of the MANY shuttles to PIR. The area hotels offer either a free shuttle for hotel guests or there are hired shuttles for a very minimal cost ($3 per ride). The hotel you are staying at should be able to give you information.
I don't think the recruiter even has any idea what the password is. I am thinking that you don't need the password if you park at the metro parking or use a shuttle/taxi to drop you at the gate. If he refuses to give it to you, there is still a way! I have heard that the metro parking is actually better then parking inside anyway.
According to the form letter we received in the mail the only person that can give it to you is your SR. Have him mail it to you.
Thank you for all the info!! I think we are just going to take the shuttle to the gates.. Does anyone know how far a walk it is from the gate to where the Grad is? Is it indoors? All the pix I see look like it's indoors..
Graduation is indoors.
from what I heard, it is a shorter walk from the gate to the ceremony hall than it is to park inside the gates and walk!!!
I read on the RTC FB page that it was 100 yds...from the shuttle to the Hall...and I my son and I estimated that that was about he same for us from the Parking Structure.
