I just graduated from OSUT recently, and I'll be going to a friends graduation next month. Should I wear my dress blues to her graduation?
Also, its correct to stand at attention and recite the soldiers creed with the graduates, right?

I’m going to answer your question with a question. Have you already reported to your unit? If you haven’t then you’re not going to have DIU on your shoulders nor your units crest on your beret. You will then look like another trainee/graduate and could possibly be lining yourself up for some hurt. At the end it’s your friend’s graduation and I’m sure the last thing you’d want is to be singled out by a NCO or a DS as being ate up in front of everyone.

I should be reporting to my unit before her graduation next month. She actually wants me to go in uniform which is why I'm asking in the first place.

Had a similar situation recently when I went to my nephew's graduation from Air Force BMT. I agree with SPC Niphipali on this one. I didn't go in uniform because I didn't want to take away from his accomplishment and I knew an MTI would blow me up for something or other, or mistake me for a trainee that was graduating.

Jut go in a button-up and slacks... takes away the confusion. You're going for HER graduation and I guarantee that someone will spot something on you and fuck your life up
