Family Members of the almost 1,200 Soldiers of the Rock Force Battalion will finally be able to see their loved ones as the battalion hosts the 3-34th Infantry Family Day Ceremony on 29 October at 0900 on Hilton Field. The ceremony lasts only about 30 minutes and afterwards Soldiers are given an ON POST pass until 8:00pm. Please allow yourself plenty of time to get on post as traffic is very heavy getting to Hilton Field. To get on post, you must have a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration. If you are driving a rental car, then the rental car agreement is sufficient. Adult Passengers must simply have a photo ID.

I'm so excited for you. Brings back fond memories of the three graduations that my husband and I attended. I think the one that Dela's graduation/family day reminds me of my middle son, Jonathon. He graduated in February after getting married during his Christmas Exdous in the middle of Boot Camp, so he hadn't had much time with his new bride and so the afternoon after graduation we went and had lunch and they went to her hotel room! We saw them in time for dinner and to return him to the Post at 8:30pm and seeing her cry as we drove away. It would be another 4 months before they would finally get to Ft. Knox where they could begin being "married". Enjoy your time together! So glad to see the light at the end of the tunnel for the two of you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura. I just hope I'll recognize her!
