Hello Trena! Okay...first...you now DO have soemone to talk too! US! LOL We veteran Moms are here to help you!
RTC-Recruit Training Command-has to limit the guest list or it would be out of control. Plus, guests are just that...guests. They do not have military I.D. and they are being permitted entrance to a secure military installation. That is why you have to have government I.D. to enter or for the younger with no I.D. Birth certificate or SS#.
That being said...BRING EVERYONE WHO WANTS to attend! The four on the access list are guaranteed entry to PIR. ALL extra guests must wait in the Visitors Center (the USS Yorktown). At a certain point those guests will be allowed entry. I know one vet mom, LaLa Ribbon Queen, had thirteen divisions in her traing group and her extra guests made it in. Their are no tickets. Your recruit should have sent home the form letter and on it listed the four for the PIR access list. He will finalize that list a week before PIR. Make sure that all of your guests have the required ID. I will psot that below also.
Math wise...13x 80 recruits equals about 1040 recruits times 4 guests...so about 4100 guests guaranteed. 11 divisions would be about 3500 guests...so thats a difference of 600. I believe I have heard that the PIR floor can hold 15-20 divisions though we have never seen 20! I have seen 14 divisions.
PLEASE PLEASE ask ANY questions you like! Make sure that you post on the main page of the PIR groups so we veteran Moms can help you with general PIR questions and lend support! A divisional discussion has not been formed for your division so I invite you to do so if you like. Also, please go to the one titled SEAL/SWCC by sjtina...she is a veteran mom who's son went through SPECOPS.
This is from the RTC website FAQ:
Q.How many guests per recruit are allowed to attend Pass-In-Review?A.Four seats are guaranteed per recruit; however, children 12 years old and younger do not count against the four-guest maximum. The graduating recruit is responsible for identifying those individuals to be placed on the access list. Please coordinate with your recruit via letters regarding who will be on the access list. No additions, deletions or changes will be made to the access list the week of graduation. The four guests on the access list will be admitted into the ceremonial drill hall first. Additional guests not on the access list will have to wait inside the Visitor Center until after the start of the ceremony at which time they will be allowed into the ceremonial hall if additional seating is available as space permits. No additional seating can be guaranteed. PLEASE DO NOT CALL FOR ADDITIONAL SEATS. All visitors must have valid photo identification. This requirement includes children (school ID, Social Security card or copy of birth certificate). Please be aware that security may deny base admission to guests NOT on the access list if they are not accompanied by a guest who is on the access list.
Q.When will I receive tickets/passes to graduation?A.There are no actual tickets or passes. Recruits list the names of up to four guests that will be included on the access list. Recruits cannot obtain additional “tickets” from other recruits.
See the FAMILY GUIDE by RTC (just click the link) and go to page six under ACCESSING BASE for the ID info. Plus, read the whole Family Guide for great info!
Hope this helps!

That is wonderful info! I'm so glad to hear that extra guest may enter the base and possibly get into graduation. This is the first time I have heard this.

We don't have that many extra coming - but our daughter and her husband are put on the list with my husband and I. Our granddaughter will be 22 mths old at time of graduation. Do I understand correctly she will not be counted in the 4 seats but our son needs to have her added to the list?

She does not count in the "four" and does not need to be on the access list. Bring her Birth Certificate and/or SS# just in case.
I can't get the paragraph to copy and paste. Go to page six of the Family Guide and you will see it on the right hand side under "Accessing Base"...fifth paragraph. Just click the link below.
