My son is graduating Aug 22nd (Turning Blue Aug 21st) from Ft. Benning. I believe our paperwork was inadvertently discarded, and I have NO instructions on where to go or what time to be anywhere. My husband isn't able to come with me, so I'm going alone. I'm flying into Atlanta Wednesday night, but don't have a clue what to do from there. Does anyone have instructions they could scan and email to me, or fax to me? I'm really getting nervous - I don't want to miss anything!!

You should probably start at this website: https://www.infantry.army.mil/198th/content/GeneralInfo/GradDates.htm.

You will need to rent a car to get to Ft. Benning. Columbus is a couple of hours SW of Atlanta. It's a pretty easy drive on I-85 and then I-185. The above website provides links for directions and lodging.

If you have not already made reservations, you want to do that very soon. Lodging will probably be at a premium (it was in the Ft. Knox area when we went there for graduation).

Congratulations to your son on making it through OSUT.

I can scan and email what I have but it's for a different graduation date. Perhaps it is the same protocol??
