What to wear to Army basic training graduation??? - Military Career Progression

allypooh · 03-06-2007, 02:30 PM

Should I wear pants? A dress? A skirt?? What did you wear? I'm going to Missouri I'm pretty sure I'll freeze, but I just have no idea what to wear, do you get dressed up???? Or even to pack. What did you wear on Family Day??? I’m starting to freak out!

Causal dressy. People tend to get a bit dressed up for Graduation, like church but not like your going to a ball

Oh and on family day just wear jeans

I wore a cute little sundress - halter top, knee length. It was casual-dressy. It was also summer, so....I wasn't freezing!

You can wear pants if you want, jeans, sweaters, skirts, whatever...whatever you feel comfortable in!

so on Family Day (AIT Graduation) jeans are ok?

I just went to my brothers at the end of October. I did wear jeans on family day... he just showed us around base and all that.
For his graduation... it was supposed to be outside so I wore slacks and a nice top and a coat. It poured rain so it was indoors but it still worked fine.
This was in SC by the way.

I'm from Cali and had no idea what cold would be like when DH graduated Boot in Great Lakes, IL. I wore Jeans and a nice sweater then my coat. I saw lots of people all "gussied" up and several other people in casual wear.
If I had dressed up more DH would have prob laughed at me b.c I'm a jeans girl and he said it was nice to see me just being me.
