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. Attendees not listed on the guest list will be denied base access.
This 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:**
- Select a date for Meet & Greet/DI Dinner: https://mcrdmeetandgreet.eventbrite.com/
- Purchase “Adult or Child Dinner Ticket” to attend the Social Hour and Dinner portion or “General Admission – Social Hour” to attend the Social Hour only. Purchase “New Marine Ticket” for your Marine to attend the Dinner portion.
