i've heard, and don't quote me, from people that have graduated. Even if all four people go, they won't necessarily just say no. because some recruits have nobody coming or just like 1 person there will be room. So if you all four show up, there is a possibility you can all watch. And i mean if you're all four gonna be in great lakes anyways. why not try it? Somebody i know had 5 people go when it was suppose to only be three. I guess is just depends. But best of luck

Sorry to hear it, but this might help: http://www.livestream.com/usnavyrtc

Anyone who can't actually go up there and watch it in person can instead watch through that link.

When I graduated in July of last year recruits who didn't have a family member to fill each available spot would help out and put someone's family member under their name if they needed an extra. For example I was allowed four guests but only had three planning to attend. One of the guys in my div had five family members trying to attend so I listed his sister under my name. When she arrived at PIR she just had to give my name at the door instead of his. Write back and see if he might be able to find somebody to help out, I'm sure there will be someone who can help him out.

That's a great idea Jaxsailor. I was just writing him a letter today and haven't mailed it. I'll ask him to see if he can get someone to help him out. Thanks everyone for the great info! I really appreciate it.

Just understand that if the name is NOT on the list..they will not get in.

Yes, we do understand. Everyone was going to go anyway. Our son was really looking forward to his best friend being able to attend. They grew up together and our families are very close. Hoping it will all work out, but if it doesn't, we'll still have a good time.
