Graduation: Due to the short duration of Marine Combat Training, the command is unable to coordinate installation access for families to attend graduation. Graduation is on Monday from 3:00-3:20 p.m. in the Marine Combat Training Battalion Barracks Quad. Immediately following graduation, Marines must complete various final actions by 10:00 a.m. Tuesday to vacate billeting and board transportation for their follow-on school. We highly recommend attending your Marine’s military occupational specialty school graduation. Marines cannot travel with family to their military occupational school. They must utilize the government procured travel.
