bringing extra guests who arnt on the list...
Can anyone offer tips on getting in with a couple extra guests who wernt put on the guest list? We have three extras...and heard that with 10 divisions at SR's grad date we shouldnt have an issue with getting them in. They just have to enter with a guest who IS on the list and then will be told if there is room.
Any advice? Two are flying in from Florida.

I am updating this because RTC clarified this recently on fB. The active/retired military personnel must show proper military ID and must arrive in a vehicle with a gate pass or walk in. They do not have to arrive with someone on the access list.

lemonelephant So since i am a veteran of desert storm/desert shield and do have a veterans I.D. I do not need to be counted as one of the four guests? Making sure I am understanding this correctly. It would be great to free up my spot since Terrence's Dad and i are divorced making us possibly have a few more guests.

You will need to be on the Access List since you are not active duty or retired.

The info you are looking at is outdated. As of this fall, Active duty and retired military must be on the Access List. The policy took affect for all TG's beginning with the 01/04/2013 TG. Everyone who is over age 2 (lap babies) must be on the Access List to attend. There are no exceptions. Those not on the Access List will be asked to return to the car or leave the RTC. A Veteran would have had to be on the Access List even under the old rules if he was not retired.
See page 3 http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/pdfs/FamilyGuide.pdf for examples of acceptable government issued photo ID. Read that entire document since it has some good info for you.

Hello, my brother and brother-n-law are both retired Marines. What do they need to show as ID to get in without taking a space on the list?

They must be on the Access List to attend. Only children under age 3 (lap babies) can get into the Drill Hall for PIR without being on the Access List. See http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp. and http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/pdfs/FamilyGuide_v14Mar2013.pdf..

Our friends son graduated this past summer. He had another SR put his extra family memebers on their list since they didn't have 4 coming. So if you can work that out, then they will get in.

If there are 10 or fewer divisions, then there should not be a problem with getting extra guests in who are not listed. When there were13 or 14 Divisions, there have been times that all got in and then there have been times when some did not get in. As long as you know the name and division number of the Recruit and the Recruit passes, then having another SR add the extras to the access list is a good idea.

The info above is outdated. Each recruit places 3 or 4 names on the Access List and only those on the Access List can attend PIR except for those aged 2 and under. See http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp. and http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/pdfs/FamilyGuide_v14Mar2013.pdf.

My dad is retired Navy...both he and my mother have military ID's so neither of them have to be on the list correct?

Incorrect. Your father does not have to be on the Access List since he is retired military with military ID. Unless your mother also served in the military, she must be on the Access List or wait in the Visitors Center to see if there is additional seating. Military Dependents (Spouse and children of those who served or are serving) must be on the Access list to attend unless they are aged 12 or under.
