Peter, I can't tell you how much leave he may have before reporting to his duty station. You may want to get into the OCS group and ask if anyone else has had that experience.
I have family that is interested in attending the graduation ceremony, what should they know to coordinate travel?
OCS Graduation Ceremonies are typically held in Kay Hall at 1030 on Fridays. The Graduation ceremony usually lasts 90 minutes. Please note: students will not be secured from training until noon on Friday. Therefore, flights leaving out of Providence should not depart until after 1500 on Friday. Flights out of Boston should not depart until 1700 on Friday.
Students are expected to attend a reception planned by students for families and friends which usually lasts about 2 hours the Thursday evening prior to graduation. The venue for this event varies by graduating class.
Family travel arrangements for those who plan to attend the graduation reception and graduation should be made well in advance. The following website provides information on the Newport Area and can help in locating services.
