If you are attending this Thursday's recruit graduation ceremony, you must pick up your tickets in advance at the Recruit Family Welcome Center at Burkey Mall, 2630 Green Bay Road, North Chicago, IL 60088.
Due to federal holiday on Friday, ticket pickup hours have been adjusted for the Thursday graduation: 1-6 p.m. Tuesday; 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Wednesday; and 5:30 a.m.-8 a.m. Thursday. If you are picking up your tickets on Thursday, please allow yourself ample time to pick up tickets and arrive to the ceremony prior to 8:45 a.m.
Each guest must pick up their ticket individually and they must have an ID; parents may pick up their minor children's' tickets under the age of 18 with their proper form of identification. There are no tickets available for extra guests or guests whose names are not on the access list.
*PLEASE NOTE* If you are returning to RTC later in the day to pick up your recruit, everyone in the vehicle must still have a ticket in order to drive onto the base or else you will be instructed to turn around.
From RTC:
Friends and Family of RTC,
Recently RTC changed security protocols in order to ensure the safety and security of our Sailors, recruits, and visitors. In doing so we have implemented a new security form for use in screening all guests who will be attending the ceremony.
To help eliminate any questions about filling out the form and where to return the form, we first encourage everyone to visit our website and review the graduation page or look for answers on our FAQ pages. It is important to remember that these forms MUST be filled out and returned to your recruit in the time indicated on the form and on our website. Again, these forms need to be returned to YOUR RECRUIT. Do not return these forms to Public Affairs, Events, Security, Admin, or any other department at RTC.
The mailing address for your recruit will be delivered to you by your recruit in the initial correspondence you receive from them after they arrive at RTC.
Please remember, it is the recruit’s responsibility to send this initial correspondence to whomever they choose and it is the recruit’s responsibility to keep their families informed on their progress as well as choosing who they want to attend their graduation ceremony. Again, please send your security form to your recruit.
Thank you,
RTC Public Affairs
RTC understands the issue with ID's and the changes made earlier this year- they realize that folks from all over the US come to RTC for PIR and the PAO let me know that they are accepting all VALID state ID's-
Thank you Matthew and Paul for your responses! Hopefully there will be no issues with our ID's!
As of Feb 16:
There have been some questions regarding access to RTC for PIR in light of the restrictions on state ID's......this response just in from RTC: "We still accept all state's IDs".
You will need your passport if your state ID is not recognized. If you don't have a passport then you better call ahead and check on what to do. My wife and I were there in Jan for PIR. Our state was on the list also and they didn't say anything to us, but we had our passports along just in case.
Hello everyone! I am new to the site and to being a proud Navy dad, my son is in boot camp now and will graduate on July 28th, 2017. I have read the article on State ID's and how some are not accepted. Well, we are from Missouri and that state is on the list. What do I need to do for PIR? Thanks for any help on this!
Good Afternoon everyone I just wanted you to know what a awesome time we had during our sons PIR on 2/10/17. Everyone should attend Sarge meet and and greet the night before the PIR. Great informations enjoyed meeting the other parents on the ship. I was so proud to watch all these young men and women march into Mid-Way Hall. Thank you and GOD BLESS all of our service men and women. GO NAVY
