I do not have a source. But I just attended my son's Graduation/Commission. On October,6, 2017. Graduation was or is twelve weeks or the Friday of the twelfth week.  I should be able to answer most questions you may have. If not my son will be in country for one more weak before he ships out I should be able to ask him providing he remembers everything.

Congratulations!  Please share our congratulations with your son as well!!

I just want to confirm that if he reported on Sept. 17 you are counting 9/17-9/23 as week #1 which puts the Friday of the 12th week as Dec. 8th.

There is a reception we should plan to attend Thursday evening and graduation is Friday morning??  Did your son and other members of his class have liberty after graduation?

As far as liberty it depends on your sailor if he request time off.

There is a Hi Moms get together on Thursday the week of graduation. Depending on the class it may just have hors doeuvres or have a dinner. 

Friday morning there is a run around 06:30 in the morning and graduation is around 10:30
