Thank you all for the information. I can still get my SR to change the names on the list can't I?

Ajsmom:  Yep, the recruiter has incorrect info...sigh.  I think where they got confused is that prior to January of this year, the rule was that children 12 and under got in without being on the list.  But they changed that this year to only 2 yrs and under not having to be on the list---3 yrs and above have to be on the lists.  I hate for any of you to miss this, but just don't see how it can be helped.  So sorry!

You may want to call the recruiter and update on the new info.

I will have to see if we can change the names on the list then because it is my SR's brother and sister and they would be heartbroken if they couldn't see him at PIR. Thank you for the help.

Ajsmom,

Unfortunately, the recruiter has given you incorrect information.  Recruit Training Command just changed their policy regarding children this year, so anyone 3 years old and up must be on the PIR list and their names are put on there by your SR.  If the children can't be left at home with family, then someone from your group will have to stay at the hotel with the children.  The children will not be allowed in if they are not on the list.  If your SR puts the children on the list, they will need school id with a photo or their birth certificate or social security card.  Maybe 1 of the adults will need to stay at the hotel with 1 child, then the other child can be added to the list.  If the PIR dvd is purchased for $29, then that can be shown to family who were unable to attend the PIR.

They are both older. That's why the recruiter told my son to list the adults and that there would always be extra seats and they would never turn the kids away

Ajsmom:  Are the children two and under?  If so, they don't need to be on the list and they don't count in the "4" guests.  But if 3 yrs old and up, they have to be included in the count and on the list.

We have 4 adults going to PIR and 2 children. My sons recruiter says that they won't turn away the children and they are not listed in his sheet. I am concerned about that. I don't want my son to get into trouble.

Darleen:  Unfortunately, the "extras" won't be allowed on RTC even after PIR....so it might be best to meet them back at the hotel.  You can be decorating the room for a big party!  :-)
