Hello. I'm new here. My son just left for boot camp on Thursday, April 12th. I just found out that they can only get tickets for 4 people for graduation. My husband and I, and our three children planned on attending. But that would be five. Does anyone know if a fellow graduate could put the name of one of our children down as getting a ticket if they don't plan on inviting their four? Any advice would be appreciated. It would be sad if our entire family could not attend.
Also those that are on the list have to be present with I'd to pick up their tickets. You will not be allowed to pick up everyones ticket. Please go to Boot Camp Moms and You will find info on that page.
Your recruit will indicate the names of four guests who will be permitted to receive tickets and attend PIR. The RTC may change that to three guests if there is a large TG. Children ages 2 and under do not need a ticket to attend PIR, but a copy of the child's birth certificate may be presented in order for the child to attend PIR. The names of the guests will be listed on the Security Access Form. Your recruit will send the Security Access Form with The Form Letter and it will need to be completed fully and returned to your recruit. if you do not receive The Form Letter, then you can downloadthe Security Access Form and complete it and send it to your recruit, but the recruit has the final say on who will attend PIR.
ALL GUESTS 3 AND OLDER MUST HAVE A TICKET TO ATTEND PIR, INCLUDING MILITARY GUESTS (ACTIVE DUTY, RESERVE, RETIRED, VET).No extra guests allowed, no exceptions.
GUESTS SECURITY ACCESS FORM:If you are going to be attending the graduation ceremony, you will need to fill outthe security access form, which is included with your form letter. Return the form to your recruit according to the instructions.
ONLY YOUR RECRUIT CAN CHANGE THE GRADUATION CEREMONY ACCESS LIST: Your recruit will be able to make changes to the access list throughout training. The last opportunity to make changes will be the week before graduation. If there is a change to be made to the access list (such as a name spelled incorrectly, name-swap, etc…)please communicate any changes to your recruit by mail. Recruit Training Command staff cannot change these names or release the names of those on the list.Please do not call for additional seats!
The form can also be downloaded by anyone from the new website, but only the recruit has final say-so as to who will be invited. Those names are submitted and those names will be printed on tickets. All of those guests attending must be present with ID to pick up in person.No exceptions, no swapping of tickets, no changing of names during final week of graduation.
FROM THE RECRUIT FAMILY WELCOME CENTER:
If you are attending a graduation ceremony, you MUST personally obtain your ticket, you cannot pick up tickets for others. Tickets will be distributed at the Recruit Family Welcome Center, located inside the Navy Exchange Burkey Mall, Bldg. 3452, 2650 Green Bay Road Great Lakes, IL 60088

Please plan accordingly so each person listed can check in to receive a ticket for the graduation ceremony. Again, if you don’t have a ticket you will NOT be allowed entry to the base. Tickets will only be issued to those guests who the graduating recruit has verified will be attending.
Please ensure that those who check-in to receive their graduation tickets are the same as those listed on the access list.

Thank you! If there are events, such as the meet and greet the day before, can additional family members attend, or are those only for PIR ticket holders?
