DEP-Leavin' for bootcamp in February
This group is for N4M members that have a loved one leaving for bootcamp in February.I will leave the year open so that even future Deppers leaving in the month of February of any year can join.Lets share stories, information, concerns, and questions
Anyone gone to graduation with babies?
My eldest joined and flew out on 2/25/19. The only way I can make graduation is if I take my 10 month old twins...they will be turning a year old around his graduation date. Do they allow strollers? Do they count as part of the allotted tickets? I’m not even sure how to fly them up there. His grandpa (my dad) is also going, but has Parkinson’s so cant hold a lap baby on the flight. Advice?

Good Morning - you will find the answers to your questions here:

You can take in the stroller but they discourage it due to space limitations. Perhaps you could carry one and stroller the other? And no, your twins will not need tickets.
Not sure about the flight info - I know it used to be if they were under 2 (I think) and you held them on your lap you didn't have to purchase a ticket. You might have to purchase a ticket for one of them and hold the other.....you would have to check with the airlines on that.
It will take a little planning but hopefully you can make it work!
