I have some graduation questions???
Trying to find out after my son graduates - can he leave the base for the weekend or does he have to check back in to the base at night? I know he has to stay within a 50 mile radius. Where do the rest of the family members not atttending graduation hang out? Can they even come on base?

First, one question: Where will your son be going for A school?
If you don't know, then what rating (job) will he have in the Navy?

He will be staying at Great Lakes for 3 weeks after graduation for school. He went in under Pact Seaman.

OK, great. You will get to see him all weekend, but he does have to be back on base each night. He has to move his gear and check in at his new barracks right after graduation. That can take a couple of hours. He will call when he has settled in and can be picked up.
The rest of the family will have to stay at your hotel.

What about video taping graduation ...can we do that or do they do that? Can you purchase a DVD?

Yes, cameras are allowed in the graduation hall, but no pictures or video outside at RTC. Yes, you can order a DVD.

Thank goodness we are within driving distance. Do you know approximately how long graduation is? And what time do they have to be back on base at night?
