What does the graduation ceremony from BCT at fort leonard wood consist of?|165970

i am wondering how long i will have with my boyfriend and what i should wear?

I didn_t go though Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood (I did live there for over a year though as a spouse), but the ceremony will depend on how many units are graduating. Each unit marchs in and then there_s speeches. My graduation was in SC and it was outdoors.

So, if I were you, I_d wear a sundress with a wide brimmed hat. You_ll want to be comfy. Watch weather.com (or your choice of weather sites) for updates and take an umbrella just in case.

How long you_ll have with your boyfriend depends on how quickly his drill SGTs release them. Does he have his orders for AIT yet? And will he stay at Wood? You_ll probably have time together. His orders will indicate when he has to report to AIT.

I_d suggest getting away from post _ heading to Springfield. There will be more hotel choices there _ more stuff to do.

Edited to add: make sure you have comfy shoes for the graduation ceremony. There may not be enough seating for all the family members present.

Edited again: Check out the Fort Leonard Wood website. There are specific rules for those allowed to go off post.

Went through all that waaaaaaay back in 76....back then it was some marching and speeches and that was it. Immediately after I got a ticket back to Dallas and had a little time at home before reporting back for AIT. But it may be a whole different world now.
