Hi. I just found out my husband is in the March 2012 OCS class. I know he has 13 weeks of school but am kind of clueless to everything else. Any information would be great! Thanks!

Thanks AngelB! Do you remember how long the Hi Moms lasts? My husband wants to eat dinner at a restaurant in Newport afterwards but I don't know what tine we will be getting out, so I can't make reservations yet. And congratulations to you and your husband!!! It seems like it wasn't that long ago that my guy left for OCS and now he is graduating 2 weeks from today! I am so glad and thankful that the time went by so fast; and it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Where are y'all now that OCS is over?

Hello everyone.Sorry I have not been on in a while. Our comp died and I was in Newport for my Hubbys graduation. To LSUtiger4life, yes it is a 2 day thing. On that Thursday you will have PIR and then Hi Moms that night. On that friday at OH GOD thirty they will have a demo to show how they get burned doing push ups and getting yelled at and then they will show you how they eat at the chow hall. Then about 9 they will start graduation. Its all done by about 11.If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hey Everyone,

I have a question about graduation. I read somewhere that graduation is a 2 day event. Something about a dinner the night before and then the actual ceremony the next day. My husband graduates on February 18th and I plan on flying to Newport. Would he graduate on the 18th and the dinner would be on the 17th? Just trying to find out when I should leave and what time to be there! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

AngelB thank you so much for your response and well wishes. I personally think it stinks that each class can be treated differently based on the DI they get. My hubby is flying home on Saturday and has 2 weeks off for Christmas, so I can't wait to hear what has been going on since he started! What do you mean by on base liberty? My husband was able to use the computer today and we were able to send emails back and forth which was very nice, especially since I had to clarify travel plans!! Is that considered on base liberty? Have a great night!

As far as liberty goes its during candio phase,sometime during weeks 9-12.However it is up to the DI if they get liberty at all,and for how long.I know my Hubby is in week 10 and is just now getting on base liberty.Im sure your LO will get time to get off base.Good luck with school and the move.
