A school graduation

by Lancertrackmom

Mar 16, 2023

A school graduation is in 4 weeks. I know they also are promoted to E4, everyone in the class passed the run. Do they do the graduation and a separate promotion or it is all done at the same time or the promotion isn’t a big deal and is just understood? 
I sent my son the info for me and my husband to get on base yesterday. I’m so excited and proud of my son and his accomplishments. I know he is busy studying for comps so I don’t want to bother him with asking for details that he probably doesn’t know anyway.

    Lancertrackmom, congrats to your son!  Yes, just as JNMnavymomOH said, the E4 promotion is part of the ceremony.  It is such a nice, intimate ceremony.  We got there super-early because we didn't want to be stuck in traffic, and it was fun to hear the banter before the ceremony started.  But one of the things I really appreciated is that before it officially started, they confirmed that everyone the Sailors were expecting were present.

      My son said his t-track was like 2 months and then his Power School graduation would be in October.  That doesn't sound right to me, but he also said that he was told that his Power School would not be the full 26 weeks.  I will wait until he classes up and get the actual date then.
