i did the same thing. We thought his graduation would be early to mid june. Did you guys hear that the date changed? They will actually be graduating the 26th, not the 27th

the last thing i heard was that graduation is the the 27th, i thought all graduations were on a friday, is it because of the holiday? i have already made reservations for the 26th and 27th, but that was getting there late on the 26th, i guess i will need to change this, how did you find out that it changed?

Well it says it all over this website and one of my friends checked the actual Navy website. You can double check with them too if youd like but im 99.9% positive it was changed.
