Attention Friends and Families!

We are thrilled to invite you to join your new Marine during the Family Meet & Greet Dinner hosted every Wednesday from 3:00 - 7:00 PM before Boot Camp Graduation at MCRD San Diego! This special evening will be an unforgettable opportunity to share a meal with your Marine and meet their Drill Instructors.

Tickets are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis—don’t wait to secure your spot! ** "New Marine Tickets" are limited to 100 spots. You must purchase a “New Marine Ticket” for your Marine to attend the Dinner portion. "Adult Dinner Tickets" cannot be purchased for new Marines and will not guarantee attendance at the event.**

Meet & Greet/DI Dinner Base Access Procedures

You must register each attendee (to include new Marine) by name for the Meet & Greet/DI Dinner to gain access onto MCRD San Diego and attend the event. Attendees not listed on the guest list will be denied base access.

This registration process will ensure a smoother entry experience for attendees. This change only applies to Meet & Greet/DI Dinner and doesn’t impact base access procedures for Family Day and Graduation.

**How to Register:**

1. Purchase “Adult or Child Dinner Ticket” to attend the Social Hour and Dinner.

2. Purchase “New Marine Ticket” for your Marine to attend the Dinner portion - A "New Marine Ticket" MUST be purchased to ensure your new Marine's attendance. An "Adult Dinner Ticket" will NOT guarantee your new Marine's attendance.
