So I have absolutley no idea when I'm going to graduate boot camp. I leave july 1. So I'm guessing sometime around the beginning of September. Is there a website I can look it up on? Thanx

Yes it is, however, you need to remember that not everyone graduates with the company they start with. There is always a possibility that you will be held over for any number of reasons. Some of which you have no control over. Things like getting sick (a real possibility), dental, and performance issues can all keep you there a little longer.
Not trying to burst your bubble, I just want you going in with a realistic attitude. Getting held over can really break your spirit if you are not prepared for the possibility. Go to Cape May with the goal of doing your best, keep a good attitude, and remember that graduation dates are just for planning purposes.
One more thing, in the Coast Guard you will rarely ever know exactly when you will be getting home. For the next few years at least you will be running on someone else’s schedule. Even the Commandant has someone telling him where he has to be and when to be there

To my knowledge there is no limit on the ammount of guests that attend. I am from South Jersey and 8 or 9 of my relatives and friends attended.
