How/when does one arrange for passes for I-day for extended family and friends? Is there a limit of a number of ppl a plebe can invite? Secure IDs required? Thanks!
People bring entire entourages - family, friends, coaches, Scout leader, minister. You walk into the Yard or take the shuttle bus from the Navy Stadium parking lot. The Plebe-to-be gets dropped off in the AM, sometimes very early, and you do not see them the rest of the day. There there is the oath, a short good-bye period, and you watch them march into Bancroft Hall. You need proper photo ID.How/when does one arrange for passes for I-day for extended family and friends?

Well said!!People bring entire entourages - family, friends, coaches, Scout leader, minister. You walk into the Yard or take the shuttle bus from the Navy Stadium parking lot. The Elbe-to-be gets dropped off in the AM, sometimes very early, and you do not see them the rest of the day. There there is a short good-bye period, and you watch them match into a Bancroft Hall. You need proper photo ID.
But - ask your P2B who he or she really wants there. It will be a looonnggg, hot, humid, sticky day, with high emotional impact, and they may just want parents and sibs with those last few minutes. They are usually a bit overwhelmed by the sheer enormity and suddenness do the change that has just rvrkooed them, and they have just taken an oath of service for at least the next 9 years of their lives. The night before, they can also go silent and not eat and perhaps not be up for crowd fun. You know your en or daughter best. Realize this is not moving into the dorm at Ivy or State U, meeting roomies and being festive. This is Induction Day, commitment and a carrier catapult shot into adult life looming.
This is such great advice, having gone through drop off twice.People bring entire entourages - family, friends, coaches, Scout leader, minister. You walk into the Yard or take the shuttle bus from the Navy Stadium parking lot. The Plebe-to-be gets dropped off in the AM, sometimes very early, and you do not see them the rest of the day. There there is the path, a short good-bye period, and you watch them march into Bancroft Hall. You need proper photo ID.
You spend the time walking around the Yard, shopping in Mid Store, going to Supe’s brief, etc.

Well if thats not the most accurate description of the day ever!Realize this is not moving into the dorm at Ivy or State U, meeting roomies and being festive. This is Induction Day, commitment and a carrier catapult shot into adult life looming.
