Guess I miscounted there, the newest current class is 11-13. There is a fb page for that one also.

ddmom is your son in class 11-13?  I believe class 12-13 comes in this coming Sunday.  I'm not a mom, I'm a wife, but my husband is there now too!  He's in class 10-13!  Let me know if you have any questions about anything, and there is a FB page for all the OCS classes as well, just like aggiemom said!

ddmom is your son in class 12-13? If so here is the Facebook page for that class (if you aren't already a member) https://www.facebook.com/groups/594379210589702/  These groups are a great support and source of information.

My daughter graduated last September also and I'm not aware of any limit to the number of guests.  You do have to buy tickets for the Hi Moms reception held on Thursday night.  There are limited number of chairs set up for graduation and after that it is standing room only. 

Sconway9,

What class was your son in?

ddmom:  My son also graduated OCS last September.  As Sconway9 said, there is no limit to how many can go to the graduation, but your son will need to submit a list of names of "his people" who will be attending anything on Base that weekend.  The gate guard will check to make sure you are on the list at the gate.  We were told everyone in your car over 18 yrs old needs to have a photo ID.  The gate guard looked at our ID's and compared them to his list, so be prepared for that.  As far as the "Hi Moms" reception the night before graduation, there is also no limit, but the Candidate Officer will have to pay so much per head for all of "his people" attending.   The classes themselves decide what they will do for this--some have a full meal, and some have just cocktails and snacks. Our son's class had drinks and snacks at a Newport hotel, and it was still $20 a head!   Arrive early in the graduation week if you can.  You won't want to miss Pass-in-Review either, where they march in formation and demo their rifle drill.

My son graduated last September.  There was no limit to the number of people attending graduation.  We were 12!  It's a wonderful 3 days and one that will leave good memories.

Hello, I am new to this group.  My son is in week 2 at OCS.  I am not knew to this site however, which is a good thing.  My other son is in Sasebo, Japan on the USS BHR.  I did receive my first letter from my son and am looking forward to graduation already!!  Does anyone know if there are a limited amount of family members allowed at graduation?  Thanks!

My heart goes out to you adale.  My son met his (now) bride before he went into OCS.  As a result, she and we went through OCS together, and became close during that time.  When he proposed a few months later, we already had a relationship with her as well.  We are blessed as they both are very family oriented, and they work to share their available time with both families.  Will keep you and your family in our prayers, that a line of mutual communication opens.  God bless.

thanks Navy wife and mom........I had high hopes when they married, but seems she is treating me like he does-ignoring my phone calls, e-mails, etc. Once in a while, I get a text in response to my text, but there can be hours in between. It makes me very sad, but I love him anyway. He is back in the USA, but I hear no more often that from the sandbox!
