OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

Yes, the 4 year old counts. Everyone over the age of 2 must be listed on the Access List to enter the Drill Hall for PIR. Anyone not on the Access List should remain at the hotel and watch the Live Stream at http://www.livestream.com/usnavyrtc or http://navylive.dodlive.mil/. There are no tickets, it's names on the Access List. Who did he list on The Form Letter? Those are the people that he plans to list when the time comes to submit the names 3 to 10 days before PIR and only those guests will be admitted to the Drill Hall. Those not on the Access List may be turned away or they may be permitted to watch the Live Stream in the Chapel (don't plan on that as that is not guaranteed and should only be used when staying at the hotel is not an option).
NO, he cannot have a buddy put down names for him; it was allowed in the past, but is no longer authorized. The RTC considers that a breach of security and bad things could happen. Consequences that have been mentioned are any or all of the following: all guests listed by both could be denied access to the Drill Hall for PIR or just the one/s found to not belong to the Sailor could be denied access; he and his buddy could lose Liberty; he and his buddy could be delayed in leaving for "A" School or training. Those are not things that your SR wants.

I'm not sure who he listed on the form letter, I haven't seen it or even asked. They have discussed one of the family friends staying behind with the child if they couldn't get an extra ticket for him, and in that case, could I take his place even if his name was put on the list? And how would we change that if he wasn't able to go?

Only those on the Access List will be permitted to enter the Drill Hall for PIR even if another listed person does not attend. Coordinate with his parents and decide who should be listed and write ASAP and let him know. Then double-check when he makes the "I'm a Sailor!" call to know who was listed. He submits the names 3 to 10 days before PIR and 10 days before is today.

Only the SR can change the names on the Access List.
