i was wondering if the bmt graduations are on every friday of the year? i was counting up the weeks, and it looked like mine was day after thanksgiving. some of my family told me that the holidays don't matter. i was just wanting to clarify! THANK YOU.
They are almost every Friday. There are some weeks out of the year that they do not ship any new trainees due to the holidays. For example, there was no graduation held for the two Fridays before mine. Mine was on Dec 28th, only 3 days after Christmas. If yours is supposed to be the day after Thanksgiving, that's when it will be. Your 5 WOT/6 WOT schedule will be different than everyone else's, however. Things that you would normally have done in 6 WOT will be done in 5 WOT because of the holiday most likely. We did things like orders pickup etc in 5 WOT when normally they are done in 6 WOT because Christmas was on Tuesday of 6 WOT.
I saw a holiday week graduation schedule somewhere. I'm not sure how Retreat will work for you since I don't know if they will do it on a Thursday or not. You may want to speak with your recruiter about that and see if he or she can help you.
