My 2 kids will be at graduation....do they need a "ticket" for a seat even if they will be sitting laps??

If I remember right, I think age 10 is the cut off.

Well shit

"Cut off" as in they have to be on the list, not that they can't attend. Sorry if that was confusing.

Here's the info from the RTC website

Access list: Recruits are permitted to place up to four names on the access list for graduation (children under 12 do not need to be on the access list). Only the recruit may submit or change names, and no changes are permitted once the access list has been submitted to RTC Security the week prior to graduation. Please be sure to write to your recruit to let them know who will be attending.

The RTC website has a lot of info -

Everyone and their families should review the family guide

Also, they make up the list about a week before graduation. Not much time considering the only communication is snail mail. So make sure they know through previous letters who for sure is going and who isn't. We got the chance to change it one more time about 3 days before graduation. And let me tell you from personal experience, it stresses the hell out of your recruit to not communicate with them well enough to know who is coming and who can't make it! lol So make sure they know well in advanced.
