Going to graduation this week.
If you are going to walk in the gate do you need a gate pass?

Welcome

Your welcome,

Sorry about the bad info earlier. I guess things have changed in the last year with security for PIR. I'm glad you finally received the letter and things are looking up again.

the form letter sent home from the navy at the beginning of boot camp has a password on it you down load it to get the gate pass to park, my daughter called friday and said she graduated.hopefully your phone call will come soon.

Mari,

it is not unusual to not have received many calls during boot camp. The one thing that is certain is when he passes battle stations you will get that phone call from him saying he passed. Alot of parents leave for GL not knowing if their child has passed and receive the call the day before graduation. Some divisions do not do BS until the night before. If he has had no setbacks do to injury or health then he'll pass without a problem. Battle Stations is 24 hours and the only way you can fail is to fall a sleep during it. The Sailors are to pumped up at this point knowing that this is the end to fall asleep. My advice is to make the trip but I'm sure you'll get that call any day. Their is no access code to get in, you'll drive in through the MA's checkpoint and they'll direct you where to park. As they say " no news is good news " if he would have had a setback you would have more than likely gotten the call about it by now. So if he's had no problems up to this point then I would say he is 100% on track to graduate on time. Hope this helps some and let me know if you hear from him.

graduation is on sept 3rd, the gates open at 63oam,u need a vehicle pass to get in they can be downloaded.be there early to get a good seat there is a high volume of people that will be there.make sure your recruit put you on the access list to get in,for security purpose. ps-- jenna called on the 28tth and 305 had battlestations thursday to friday morning.

Mari,

I'll have to look for the time. I forget, I think it is around 8 or 9 am. We arrived at around 7am so that we could get a good seat. I'll find it and pass it along to ya.
