Quick question. Where is your graduation at? I'm attending the SFQC graduation this friday. Is both at the same location? If so that would be great since I can kill two birds with one stone.

Skipjack, keep an eye out for an SF guy in the audience carrying rocks!

Nah, 18C would use a wrist rocket (3/4 in surgical tubing variety) with #8 ball bearings, and he'd probably mount a scope on it too.

18C4V,
Graduation on Friday is at the auditorium on the left hand side when your heading off Owen Dr. towards the Fayetteville Airport. I'm not sure of the name, but it's over there near the coliseum. I believe it starts at 1100, but I haven't seen a schedule yet. I could get some more details for you tomorrow if you would like.

Anyone else graduting from the SFQC, post your dates and details as well.

The information I have is that "Donning the Beret" Ceremony is at 1100 hrs. on Thursday at the Auditorium. On Friday graduation ceremonies will be at 1600 hrs at the same venue.
I believe this graduating class numbers between 250 and 300.
There has been no mention of a Regimental Dinner.
C-Ya There.

Congratulations. I wish I was starting that journey again. Good luck and pay attention, you have just earned your right to step through the team room door. What happens after that is entirely up to you.

The information I have is slightly different.
I was told the Beret Ceremony is 1600 Thursday at Bull Simons Plaza. The Graduation is 1100 Friday at Cumberland County Auditorium.
Can someone give a definitive answer to this question?
Thanks -

After making some calls, this is what I was told as well. But I will find out tomorrow at formation as well!

I should certainly hope so.
Hate for you to miss graduation after all of this and have to start over.

TR,
LOL, yeah that would be a real heart breaker (Candidate, you have failed to negotiate this obstacle, would you like to try again?)! Especially since I haven't ever missed or been late for a formation since I joined the Army! Those are the times and places we were told, but I just like reconfirming things more than once... especially the way they change around here!

Thats great! How about volunteering to sponser Mr. Skipjack? Lewis is a peculiar place to say the least as I am sure you already know.
I can tell a war story or two about my 'sponsor', an officer who obviously didn't know what 'sponsor' meant.

Yes. Been here for about 3+ months now. I have no problem with sponsering him. I'm not aware of any formal way but I do know the COC asked us if we had recieved sponsers. It seemed no one had.
Skipjack, let me know when you are getting ready to arrive over here if you are coming to Lewis. I'll give you my number and such.
