Did you try downloading Mozilla Firefox to see if that would work?

Gate pass printing didn't work, even after I downloaded the current version of Adobe Reader as suggested by troubleshooting section and tried it on a different computer as suggested.  Par for the course lately.

The neat thing about your sailors when they enter the hall....for those of you in lower numbered divisions, you will be sitting down there closest to the door in your division section, as Lala mentioned....the sailors enter and circle the PIR Hall, changing formation at the end of the hall.  They then will stop in front of you, but with their backs to you.  All of you willl be thinking the same thing:  TURN AROUND!  Well...they allow that "feeling" to build in you...and then...the order is given!  ABOUT FACE! 

All I can say is....WOW!  Have the kleenex close by for that moment!  Remember as you look at these divisions at PIR...these men/women are all ages, from all different backgrounds, life experiences, purposes in joining the Navy, etc....yet....for that time...they all are on the same page as they march and stand in perfect unison.  It just really struck me...and my thanks go not only to the sailors for accomplishing this...but to the RDCs and all of the work they put into each of these sailors...to get them where they are that day!  HOOYAH!

I added a questionnaire in the discussion above. I thought I had already added it here but I guess not. Sorry about that. This is one that I wrote and sent to my daughter when she was there. It has a really good paragraph about teamwork and encouraging them for battle stations. This late you may not get it back before you leave but at least they should get it and have all the encouraging points before they go into battle stations. Thanks, sorry it was late. Lora

they open the gates at 6:30, people will be lined up at that time waiting to get in.

And they do have the DIV numbers posted in front of the area where each DIV will stand to get the best view of your sailor. The 900's DIV also have a section to sit in although they don't stand in front of you. But if you have a recruit in band or choir, or drill team or flag corp that will be the best place to sit so you can see them and i recommend the lower level. The rails get in the way of pictures in the upper level.

Someone posted somewhere that they have signs on the stands where divisions will be standing in front of.

Just wondering is there a way to know where our div will stand in the drill hall. I would like to sit close to where he will be standing during the ceremony.I was thinking do they come in any order? Or Stand in a order, one would imagine that they would stand in number order of course excluding the preforming div.
