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

If the training is still only 8 weeks, I guess around August 26th.

Good Luck and remember, if you have problems - you stay longer.

If you ship to Cape May on July 1st, and you graduate on time, your graduation will be Aug 22nd.

Is there a limit to the amount of people you can have at graduation? For instance, are you only allotted 5 seats etc? Thanks

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 Smile

Be safe.

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.
