My4sons, Amber is correct.  He can't give that spot to anyone else anyway so no worries.

For those who forget or didn't download the gate pass.....remember....if you take a shuttle from your hotel (Sarge's service or the local one), no pass needed.  And if you want to drive but don't have the pass, you can park right past RTC at the train station (about 1/4 mile walk, sidewalks).  I believe the train station is paid parking but shouldn't be much.  I just don't want anyone panicking that they don't have the gate pass and will miss PIR!

Good Morning!

Good morning :-)

On the vehicle gate pass...just remember to type it in in ALL CAPS. 

Also, if you have trouble they have a troubleshooting link, but usually its your browser, so try switching that first to see if that solves it :-)

Comment by Tom'sMom on December 19, 2014 at 11:02am

Thank you!! Found it! Now I remember I can't print out until 11 days prior.....I'm fried!!!!

Comment by My4sonsjrbm on December 19, 2014 at 10:56am
For graduation my son wrote down the names of four guests, one being his brother. He will not be able to attend, so there will only be three of us. Do I need to contact RTC and let them know so that they can give that seat to someone else? If so how do I contact them?
Comment by Tom'sMom on December 19, 2014 at 10:34am

Help Ladies! I never received the form letter from my son, but he gave me the password in a letter. What is the website to enter password to get gate pass? I'm feeling a little frazzled in trying to find it! Good frazzled as thing for him are going well, but still frazzled! Thank You!!!!!

Claudia,

This PIR group is in intense training so all you have are weekly letters right now.  If a division is doing particularly well, they may be rewarded with a call by their RDCs, so hang in there!!

Comment by Claudia on December 19, 2014 at 1:48am
No calls its been two weeks :(
Comment by diannep on December 18, 2014 at 9:24pm

Amber, no problem!  Yours was the compete script, mine just part of it!  :-)  So I'm glad you posted!

Below is part of what maryjo referred to.  Posted on Recruit Training command's FB page.

Comment by diannep on December 18, 2014 at 1:49pm

In January 2013, the fire code regulations for Midway Ceremonial Drill Hall changed, resulting in a significant reduction of guest capacity. In order to ensure compliance with the new fire code and ensure the safety of our guests, RTC had to limit the number of guests per recruit to four guests for Training Groups with 12 divisions or less and three guests for Training Groups with 13 divisions or more.

The above restrictions will result in empty seating during graduation events and negates my ability to offer “extra” seating for any recruit above the limits that we have had to impose in response to the regulation changes. Every recruit is treated equally during the seating distribution process and I simply cannot offer extra seating to one recruit, which would potentially force me to limit the seats made available to another recruit. I cannot extend special consideration due to factors such as prior military service, size of family etc.

My staff works diligently until the night before graduation to make changes to our guest lists in response to requests from our new Sailors. Our ability to make changes the day of graduation is non-existent, as my staff is focused on providing support in welcoming our guests while also supporting ceremony production. Therefore, I cannot support allowing one recruit to “borrow” seats from another as plans often change and a recruit that expected no guests on graduation day may suddenly learn that his or her family can attend; only to remember that they have given their seats away to another recruit.

Lastly, but most importantly, we can only offer entry to those listed by our recruits as guests. This is due to security and force protection requirements that ensure the safety of our recruits as well as our guests. Recruit Training Command is, first and foremost, a training facility. The health and welfare of the recruits, the staff and our invited guests is my first priority. In light of the above, requests for additional seating will be denied.
