Hope this is the first thread for this class.  Just a place for all to go for questions/info as we go through this experience.  Seems as if some of the class was able to make calls yesterday (8/29).  Maybe F Company?  Nothing from Ted in E Company…Continue

From the OTC Newport Facebook page it looks like the class number would be either 06-19 or 07-19. 08-19 just reported a week ago. Good luck!

Hi Bart. Yes, you can take pictures/videos during part of the graduation. They will tell you when it is allowed. If I remember correctly, no cameras allowed during The National Anthem or Navy and Marine Anthems.

Thanks and congratulations Bob

Just attended our sons commission, class 14-17. It's like what Tim said. The Hi Moms reception was 5:30-830 at the Officers Club. We were asked to come early in the afternoon to help move out as much as possible. Graduation was at 10/30 the next morning. We had to arrive early to pick up the rest of our sons thing so that he was out before graduation. We live in NY so we only spent Thursday night. We regretted not staying an extra night to see more of Newport. Best wishes for your son.

Thanks for the info -- much appreciated.  and really looking forward to it.

Comment by Tim Bates on August 5, 2017 at 8:31pm

Bart,

i have been to 2 of these graduations a couple years ago. Generally, there is a party/celebration at the Officers club in the afternoon for the graduating class. The usually happens on a Thursday. The dress is business casual and some food and drink are available. The next day, normally a Friday the graduation ceremony takes place either on the drill field or the drill hall. Lots of Navy tradition here. Band plays, guest speaker, etc. Afterwards, the officers are usually free for dinner or travel and move their stuff out of the barracks.

I received a one liner from my son saying class 16-17 graduation is sep 14/15.

Anybody been to an OCS graduation before able to tell me the rough agenda?  When it is good to arrive and depart?  thanks
