Anyone RECENTLY go to Lackland Air Force Base, TX for Boot Camp?

I have a question for the people who have been there recently..
What days did you get to see the graduate or if you're the graduate what days did you get to see your family? I know there is a Airman Run on Thursday before the Graduation. Do I get to see my Graduate on the day? And what other days do I get to spend with him?
Thanks for any info you can give me. It's greatly appreciated.

Yes, you will see him run by on the Airman's run. He will then proceed to go back to the dorm to change into Blues, and the next time you see him that day will be on the ceremony pad for the Coin Ceremony, where he will get his Airman's coin from his T.I. and he will be officially announced a United States Airman!

He will then be released back to you until around 7:30 where he will have to back to his dorm for the night. Keep in mind this day you cannot leave base.

Friday, graduation is early, and right after the graduation parade he is released to you for the whole day until 7:30 again. You can leave base and go as far as San Antonio (river walk is gorgeous by the way).

The next day you pick him up for another day of town pass until again 7:30.

Sunday, if he got honor grad or his flight got honor flight will depend whether or not he can go off base or has to stay on base liberty. This time he has to be back by 4:30 to get packing to go to Tech School. This will be a hard time for everyone. Be proud though, Basic Training was rough and sucks hardcore. Not everyone can do it, trust me, we had enough people just lose it (or couldn't take it physically).

I think my sister was on Friday for graduation. And if you have fast eyes you should spot them in the run. Yes you will see the graduate that day and should be able to get a tour of the barracks, at least my parents did. I think its a weekend but if you need more information, I can put you in direct contact with her.
