Number of Family members at PIR ???

I know that the recruits can only add four names to the list of people attending PIR . However, I have read on other sites that more than that may attend but have to wait in the lobby until the PIR ceremony staarts. Then if there are seats available they let them in. Is this true? We have three extras (grandparents and a cousin) that would like to attend and are planning on buying plane tickets within the next few days. Are they wasting their money? I am planning on us all arriving in one vehicle at the same time. Any info at all would be appreciated.....thank you.

Comment by ptrpipr on December 7, 2010 at 9:01pm: So glad to hear that! Thank you very much for the info, I will pass it along.

Comment by navbarbe on December 8, 2010 at 12:15pm: We had six. My son's bunk mate at boot camp only had two guests so we put our two extra guests under his name and all of us got in at once. Any guests 12 or under don't count against the four and are automatically admitted. I recommend checking with your recruit to see if any of his/her friends have extra slots, but definitely others can get in-and you can save seats for them

Comment by Anti M on December 8, 2010 at 8:13pm: If any of the grandparents are disabled and have a handicapped parking placard or need assistance, you can let them know at the gate and they will park you in the accessible area.

Comment by Sharlene/Ship 007 Div 050 on December 9, 2010 at 1:01pm: I keep seeing that there is a password to download a gate pass for PIR. The information with to our Sailor's mother, and we have no information, with the exception the date. Is there a way for his Dad and me to receive this information? She has promised a copy, but so far we haven't received it.

Comment by Alwaysveeship14div318 on July 19, 2013 at 5:15am: I would suggest to write to your sailor and ask him for the information.
