EXTRA GUESTS - Will NO LONGER BE ALLOWED into the GRADUATION (PIR) ceremony

Craig · 10-26-2012, 09:25 AM

Over the years we're heard about sailors giving away unused slots on their PIR guest list to other sailors that need more guest slots for PIR. This is from RTC yesterday:

"this is something that some recruits may have chosen to do, they are instructed not to do so. It is against RTC policy, and compromises safety procedures that we have put in place. If we are able to determine that guests do not belong to the recruit they are placed under, they will not be allowed access to PIR. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of the Navy's only boot camp!"

I'm going to assume extra guests can still wait in the visitor center then?
