Graduation Details!

Grad packets came last week! Here is a summary of the agenda, as far as I know.

Wednesday: The Capitol Run
- Wednesday morning at 5:30 AM is the Capitol Run. It leaves from the academy and ends at the Capitol
- Cadets are able to go home with their family Wednesday night through Friday night. Their last night sleeping at the Academy is on Tuesday
- Class Party @ 6 PM

Thursday: Seminars
- 8:30am is the spouse seminar. I am unclear if more family can attend or only the spouse/significant other. This is a seminar about living with law enforcement and how to work together and have a successful relationship
- 12:00pm - lunch in the chow hall ($4)
- 1:00pm - video for 2 family members "The Fall Of The Badge 17045"
* Excused for the day at 3pm
* I believe but I am not sure, that there is a party this night as well.

Friday: Graduation Day!
- Cadets need to arrive in full uniform at 7am
- 9am Commissioner uniform inspection of cadets
- 10am Graduation in the gym & live simulcast in the classrooms
* 2 blue tickets (classroom access) and 4 gold tickets (gym access)
- Badge pinning ceremony following graduation, cadets will be assigned a spot for the pinning
- 12pm Significant others dine with Officer in the chow hall - this is the steak and shrimp dinner the last Seniors had. Kev thinks he is owed an extra shrimp this day since his 5th shrimp was frozen last time ;)
- YOUR OFFICER COMES HOME!!!

Cadets have 10 days after graduation before they report for duty. I am taking the week off and we are taking a few days in CABO and the rest we will be lounging in our new home together :)

We are SO close!
