Every Encampment participant with family or friends wishing to attend the Graduation Ceremony and/or Pass-In-Review must send a list of names to [email protected] NO LATER THAN 20 Jun 09. Because of security procedures, we will be unable to add names to the access list after this date. Here are a few items to keep in mind: -

-

If you think there is a chance of a friend or relative attending, add their name to the list. There is no penalty for them not attending, but they will not be able to attend if their name is not on the list. If in doubt, please add them to the list. The name on the list must be the individual’s FULL LEGAL NAME as it would appear on a government issued photo ID. Nicknames, aliases, and shortened names are not acceptable. All non-child occupants of the vehicle must have government issued photo identification (driver’s license, ID card) on their person on the day of the ceremony. If they do not have valid identification, they will not be permitted to attend the ceremony.

Immediately following the Pass-In-Review Ceremony, the basic cadets will be bused back to Wright State University to prepare for out-processing. This process will take some time so parents/guardians are encouraged to eat lunch during this time. Basic cadets will be out-processed by squadron assignment from 1400-1500. Parents/guardians are encouraged to be ready to pick-up their cadet during this time. Outprocessing is a controlled process and basic cadets will not be available to out-process any earlier than 1400.
