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.

The only advice I have is to plan for them to NOT get in. Then if they don't you won't be disappointed. 10 divisions is actually on the higher side, so there might not be extra room. There really is not trick to getting extra people in, the extras just have to wait in the visitors center until alll other guests are let in and then they will know if there is extra room or not. Also, if they do get it they might not get to sit with you. Saving seats for 3 people will be quite hard.

The policy has changed since this was posted and now NO EXTRAS can get in for PIR. Each recruit places 3 or 4 names on the Access List depending on the size of the TG and only those on the Access List can attend PIR except for those ages 2 years old and under. See http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp. and http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/pdfs/FamilyGuide_v14Mar2013.pdf.

Hi. Is it too late for my Sailor to add Mom to the list? He didn't put wife on the list either. We just found out last night with the official call that he's a Sailor (12/145). She has to cancel her flt and I really want to be added but my son thought that it was too late to add us. I did write him a letter to add me but don't know if he'll get it before April 12. Thanks, Shelbachr

If you have received the "I'm a Sailor!" call then it is probably too late since the names are listed 10 to 14 days prior to PIR. You could go and risk being turned away at the Visitors Center if you think he is going to try to change the names (don't make a fuss if you are refused entry) or you could just wait at the hotel and see him after PIR when he arrives with someone who was on the list.

I hope it works out for you. This would be a case of don't expect to get in and be pleasantly surprised if you can.

Hey corysNavymom! I have one doing the same. All I know is that they usually get in but probably won't get to sit with us. They have to wait till everyone sits down from what I have read.

Someone has mentioned calling and seeing if I need to give them names ahead of time for extras who might want to get in. Not like getting extra tickets. As I know you can't ask for those, just putting their names in. I'm going to call and ask what the proper protocol is for extras. I'll let you know what I find out.

Hey CorysNavyMom, do you make this phone call and if so what did you find out? I'm going to have some extras to but have been told they should be able to get in but just not sit w/ us. I may have up to 4-6 extras. We have a split family so our family gatherings get quite big.

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 -
