Comment by Another Navy Mom on January 23, 2013 at 11:05pm: Hi Blackcrow,

According to the sealswcc.com website, CQT is 20 weeks long. Class 72 was probably that, but they had christmas break to contend with so it was spread out a little bit. Hope this helps!

Comment by Blackcrow on January 23, 2013 at 9:39am: I will post my question again, since there has to be many from class 72 who can answer. What is the length of time between CQT completion and the actual graduation date? Would like to know for future planning to take the trip out for graduation.

Comment by SWCC'Em on January 22, 2013 at 10:31pm: It was as so nice to meet the young men I've heard so many good things about at the command dinner and the graduation ceremony! What a great group of young men-- I was so impressed with each and every one.

I have to say though, the command dinner was phenomenal!!! :D
