Anyone graduated from Ft. Leonard Mo. Basic training recently? ?

Question

My son is going to be graduating soon and I was wondering what to expect

Answer 1

I didn't graduate from FLMO but am currently here for another school.  I graduated Basic from Fort Sill, OK, 10 years ago, and I'm guessing it is still the same.  What exactly are you looking for.  The graduation?  The area?  The base?

The base is kind of big, people wise.  There is not much in the area for things to do.  Kind of in the back woods.  But no problem finding a place to stay. The graduation is a normal military type event.  Soldiers formed in large formations on a parade field.  Senior members of the Training Command speaking.  You son will be standing out there for a LONG LONG time.  And MO is HOT right now!!  He should have a fair amount of free time before and after to be with you.  My parents came from South Dakota to OK for my graduation.  It is a good event.  You should be proud!  If you have any specific questions I can try and help.
