I did the graduation for my nephew about 9 years ago. It is an amazing experience! My tips: they have lots of rules and restrictions for their time with you that weekend. Don’t plan too much because he will probably want to chill. Also, try to find out if he has any friends that don’t have family going to the ceremony… they need to be physically tapped out when you first get to see them and it broke my heart to see airmen with no family there to do it. We had problems getting on base when we arrived due to paperwork delays. That was stressful! If you can, bring a banner to hold during the Airmans run - he would love to see that! They run through the crowd and everyone holds banners to congratulate them. It is such a powerful, moving experience. You will LOVE IT! I think every American should attend and see what these kids go through for US … I personally had no idea what to expect and I was floored. Enjoy! 🇺🇸

My son graduated from the AF basic training in 2009. He was active duty for 10 years. I am so excited for you! The day starts out early with the airmen's run, the first time you see your baby is unforgettable. I was screaming my face off like a rockstar just passed by. 😂 Well, they are all stars and you will be beaming with pride. We did do the Riverwalk one day, it was beautiful. We went to a hockey game one night, but mostly he just wanted to eat & chill. Congrats to all of you & a great big thank you to Cayman for his service! ❤🤍💙

I had their new pimiento and honey chicken sandwich and jalapeños and GIRLLLL it was so good!! I’m a mom and a 4th grade teacher so I was definitely enjoying the peace and quiet today!

Hey Tiffany! I was in the Air Force too. That’s amazing that your son joined! It’s the best decision that I ever made. I just moved back to the East Coast from San Antonio. They have lots of restrictions for graduates, so def don’t plan a lot of outings. Most people just go to the Riverwalk to walk around and eat because it’s not too far from the base. They have river boat tours and also a mall there. He won’t be able to spend the night with you all either. My family was shocked to hear that. We were only allowed out during the day and had a curfew. He cannot miss that curfew either or it will be a big deal. You all definitely have to try some BBQ there. It’s so delicious! The Brazilian steakhouse off of the Riverwalk is amazing too. Can’t wait to see your vlogs in San Antonio 😊
