Fort Jackson Family Day and Graduation are open to all who want to attend. Family Day is normally the Wednesday before graduation and will begin at 0900 a.m. on Hilton Field. There is usually an hour long ceremony and then your Soldier will receive an on-post pass. Graduation will be the following day, normally on Thursday unless there is a Federal Holiday. Graduation will also take place at Hilton Field and will normally last about an hour. Once the Graduation Ceremony is over, your Soldier will receive an off-post pass for the day.
You will want to get on base early as the traffic can get very busy with all of the families trying to get on base for the festivities.
Please make sure you confirm the times and dates with your Soldier in case anything changes or there is inclement weather.
