I did take them to the 200th USMC Birthday Ball, but they were all 20 or above by then. Not familiar with the rules/traditions of your OCS, but would certainly get a definitive answer from someone who would know.Response by LtCol Robert Quinter made Apr 29 at 2017 8:18 PM2017-04-29T20:18:51-04:002017-04-29T20:18:51-04:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member2534059<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>After graduating last summer I can say that the only things kids were able to attend was the graduation itself and the branching ceremony. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm missing something. Most families don't go to the branching ceremony anyways. Our class of 120 had like 5 total family members there. The formal in week 12 is not something you'd want them to attend even if they were allowed. Whenever you get back from the field you'll have plenty of time to spend with them in week 12 throughout the day if they're at Benning tho.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 29 at 2017 9:22 PM2017-04-29T21:22:52-04:002017-04-29T21:22:52-04:00SCPO Private RallyPoint Member2534298<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why would it be referred to as a "family event" if your children could not attend? Seems very incongruent to me.Response by SCPO Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 29 at 2017 11:48 PM2017-04-29T23:48:50-04:002017-04-29T23:48:50-04:002017-04-29T13:11:28-04:00
