I really appreciate your comments. My son is going to have a real problem with only talking 5 minutes a day. He is a motor mouth and very active. I will talk with him though through camp and see how he feels about it. Right now, he'd be "the more the better," but it sounds like BC might change him. Thanks so much.

How are you going to get that many in to PIR when he's only authorized four seats?
-

Only four seats? Oh no. That just covers my husband and two other children. I never realized this. I have been to both Marine and Coast Guard boot camp graduations the past few years and there was no limit.

Thanks so much, Ana. This is a great link. I've got to figure out how to tell his Grandmother she will not be able to attend. My father was in the Navy in WWII. I am so glad I have the support of this website.

People can go and wait on standby and they let them in at the last minute if there is room. If not, there is a waiting area where the family and new sailor can join them.
Also, you will need to know if he is grand and go... he may or may not have to leave soon after!

Children under a certain age don't count towards seats .. 10? 12? younger?

Thanks, Anti M. That's great advice. We live in Charleston, SC so I hate to have people travel and not get in. I wonder if other recruits are allowed to put people's names on their list of four if they know they are not going to be having four people attend? Wade is going to A-school right there at Great Lakes so from what I have read, I believe he will have to sign in at A-school before he can go with us.

I've heard of other recruits putting on names, but do not have experience with it.
