How Long Is Boot Camp Graduation (duration)?

Question

And... My Boyfriend wanted me to wear heels so I am, but I heard there is a lot of walking involved... so could I bring like some flip flops in the ceremony with me in my purse? And What Does The Graduation consist of?

Answer 1

If he is a Marine like my brother-in-law the graduation was about 2 hours. from 10am-12pm for us. There isn't really much walking involved on the actual graduation day but the day before the graduation there is a thing called family day...well at least for us there was. Anyway, that day we walked...ALOT! But we got to spend like 5-6 hours with him that day too which was really nice. For us graduation was on July 11th and family day was July 10th.

Answer 2

You never mentioned what branch he was serving in, but if it's the Marine Corps it will take about an hour and a half.  I learned to despise the band that day...

Answer 3

It is about an hour or so.  I would wear comfortable shoes, there is a bit of walking.  The flip flops in purse thing sounds like a good idea. (Also, you get to sit during the ceremony so I would be less worried about how long that is and having comfortable shoes to walk in.)

Answer 4

Don't know about the Navy but in the Army it takes about an hour and a half or two hours.  It could get pretty uncomfortable in heels but might I suggest a pair of fashionable sandals rather than flip flops?  It's not a dressy event but it is rather important, for the BF if for no one else.  Why not make him proud.  Nice outfit and shoes.  Good luck to you.
