A graduation information package (which includes vehicle passes and Graduation Week information) will be mailed to cadet parents in in late Spring 2010. Tickets are required for the graduation ceremony and will be issued to the cadets in May. Cadets will receive as many tickets and passes as they request. If you need additional vehicle passes, please contact your cadet who can pick them up from his/her squadron in May.
Please do not bring backpacks or large bags to the base. If you have a handicapped placard from your state, please bring it with you so you can access the handicapped parking areas. Cadet Parents: please note that we do not have the ability to change your mailing address - your cadet must do this him/herself. Please ensure your cadet updates your mailing address, if necessary, so that you receive the graduation mailing. Note that the schedule may change as we plan for Graduation Week 2010. Make sure to check back here to get the latest updates. You may download a printable copy of the Graduation Schedule of Events and Graduation 2010 Brochure. These and other .pdf formatted files can be viewed and printed using the free Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) Reader which can be downloaded by following this link to the Adobe Web Site. |
