If you have children under the age of 16 ( I believe that is the age ) they will not count as one of the four passes. Other than that four is all that is allowed to attend.
Each recruit is allowed 4 (four) passes for PIR. At liberty call at PIR you are given 15 minutes to meet up with your sailor and get out of the drill hall. You can spend some time with your sailor (if he is not grad-n-go) at the NEX or MCPON Hall, but RTC is a military base and is treated as such. There are no facilites for civilians other than that so if you have more folks with you at Great Lakes, you'll have to meet up off-base. If your sailor is grad-n-go, you may not have any extra time with him at all save for an hour or two at the sirport if you get a security pass to get through the check-point.
Please read through the posts in the PIR group as much of this is detailed there.
Boot camp is very modern there housing is top notch good food they have pretty much all the confronts of life.
QUESTION; He said we would recive a package (im sure it is what you all have been calling a "Kid in the Box") with all the information we need, but my guess is that will take a few days?? can we not send any letters to him before then, if so how do we know they will get to him? We don't have his Navy numbers, al I have is the main address to the camp?
My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. I'm new at this and I hope this site will benefit fathers that come behind us. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your Sailor. I'm so glad to find out their are so many proud Navy Dads just like myself. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons journey in the Navy. Thank Brandon for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
