  • Thanks Jim!!

  • I don't think he has a number yet? He will be flying on July 1, starting July 2

  • Which class is your son in? 10-22 or 11-22?

  • Thanks for the time for graduation, I was thinking it was in the morning. There will only be 2 of us so number of guests is not an issue. We have accomodations. Guess I just need to make dinner reservations for graduation night

  • We just learned they will be allowed 4 guests for the June 3 graduation. Still no children due to the vaccination rules.

  • I wonder when the last "hi moms" took place.

  • At this point, the question is how many guests are allowed. There are two venues right now that can be used for the graduation. One will allow for only 2 guests and the other, 3. ALL ATTENDEES MUST BE VACCINATED. That means young children cannot attend...as of today 4/17/22.

    Make hotel reservations soon. Hotels up there going to run you $350 a night and up. I just made reservations through T-Mobile Travel at the Homewood Suites for $345 plus tax/night.

  • Negative on the hi moms as of 01Apr2022.   Had meet-up time from 10am-1300 then 1400 graduation on Friday.   Thats it.

logistics for OCS graduation

We are planning to fly in on thurs before graduation, and fly out the sat after graduation. What do the new grads do on that friday night after graduation? do they stay on base? Should we plan for him to stay with us? He should be graduating sept 30.  How long does graduation last? I assume we should make dinner reservations? Thanks for any assistance!
