Question

my son is graduating from there and i need to know what to expect...am i to wait for an invite? how does the whole thing play out. will i get to talk to him before and after the graduation? does he get to come home w/me?

Answer 1

ok

1. you will get an invitation with all the info you will need.

2. you will get to see him at the graduation and talk to him, hold him, and take him out.

3. depending on his orders, he can not go home but he can spend up to 3days with you the go to AIT.

But your going to have so much fun its a nice place close to a lot of cool stuff, have fun and watch that boy eat its funny and he will snatch ur food!

Good luck and god bless ur soldier.

Answer 2

you may or may not see him before his graduation....it depends on how his group does ..if they get in trouble they tend to take family time away from them...and sometimes it depends on their school..but they can go home with you and they normally do hometown recruiting for two weeks....or ever how long they are home..my best friend her daugher just graduated and went home with them back to nc..then left two weeks later for alaska

Answer 3

It's been over 12 years since I graduated from Fort Lostinthewoods, (B-610) but your son should be giving you a call to let you know the exact date and if I remember right, you'll receive something from the Army also.

Yes, you'll be able to see him before and after graduation and again, if I remember right, he'll be able to go off post with you also.  

If you live close to Lenardwood, yes, he'll be able to go home, but the most time he'll get to spend there will be after AIT, but that also depends on where he would go for AIT and when he needs to report there.

Congrats and thank you to your son for serving Our Great Country.
