Questions About Graduation??? HELP!!

HMRivera · 08-24-2013, 02:23 PM

I've heard that if you want to bring more people to ask the RDC's at boot camp and tell them how many more people you want to bring. Some people don't have anyone come for their graduation or they'll only bring one so you can take the open spots. Is that true?

People have done that, yes.

Is it technically allowed? No.

I don't know if it used to be, but as of 8 months ago when I went thru it wasn't. It's a security risk. And I'm sure some people still do it and don't get caught, but I definitely wouldn't mention it to an RDC . . .

Ok cuz my recruiter had told me about that if I wanted to bring more people. Thanks

When I went over a year ago, the RDC's brought it up to us. They said if anyone had extra tickets to let others know so they could bring more family members in.

Just remember that now that the navy broadcasts the PIR live online, the rules are being strickly enforced, as family that cant come in can watch it live now.

I'm sure a lot of my family would love to have had that an option. Though, I probably wouldn't have had anyone actually show up to it in person if that was the case lol.
