DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Be sure to check out the Family Guide at the RTC website - http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/. It has all the information you need. Your SR will name four people to have "tickets" - there aren't real tickets - and then the extra person will have to wait until everyone has been seated and will then be allowed into the drill hall if there is room. Only the biggest PIRs don't have room. Generally, everyone gets in. You can find out on that website how big your PIR is, too.

Any one retired military? They get in with their card. My dad got in (retied navy) and my mom was the only one that wasn't on the list, but the girl who checked us in asked her if she was the grandma and she got right in with us. We had a total of 6. Best of luck to you all.

Cheryl, there were only 7 Divisions in your Sailor's TG though, so everyone most likely got in. What you described does not happen with a TG of 10 or more divisions, although most do get to go in.

I know, I was just letting her know what we experienced, that's all.

purplegiraffe, you will just have to see who your SR puts on the list and the other person will have to wait in the Visitors Center. You could also see if your SR has a buddy who has less than 4 going and could add the extra name to his list. You would then need to know his name and division number and also hope that he is not set back for some reason, which would put you back to having the extra person wait in the Visitors Center. Hopefully, on Monday or Tuesday we will know how many divisions are in the August 10 TG. If your SR is in that TG, then there are at least 9 divisions. If that's all there are, then it will not be a problem unless everyone gets crazy with the extras. There have been 14 divisions in a TG and everyone got in and 10 divisions in a TG when some did not.

If they are not on the list, they can't watch the ceremony is what I heard to be true. What I want to know is where do people wait when they are not on the list but they come to visit after the ceremony? Cheryl

They wait in the Visitors Center or you can have them wait at the hotel. Most do get in to PIR unless people get really crazy with the extras.

my ex made sure all his family got to go to the PIR and I only got one ticket to get in, so I am coming with my younger son age 16, but since we have only one ticket to get in, he has to wait in the visitor center. I hope by chance we can get him in still.....makes me so mad!!! didn't want to go alone since they have alienated me, almost wasn't gonna go because I will be in the corner all alone by myself. :( Divorce sucks!!! it's been 19 years already....well I won't whine about it anymore....just saying :)

The SR will put the names on the Access List about a week before PIR. Make sure that you get to the RTC early on the day of PIR so that if someone is not on the list that he will be more likely to get in when the time comes. The gates at the RTC open at 6:30 and often there is already a line at that time.
