No problem, but after reading my post. I meant COT, not NTP. :)

COT - they'll tell you in your first week about arrangements for family. There's a family day, so to speak, on the Thursday before graduation, and then the class Dining Out (if you have a dining out - if you have a dining in it's military only and they'll tell you which it will be in plenty of time to make plans) will be that night. Usually only the summer surge classes - the ones in June and August - have dining ins and it's because the classes are HUGE (my class, 10-01, in October, had 103 people, but the class before us, 09-07, had close to three times that). Graduation is on Friday. You can leave immediately after your certificates are presented in your flight rooms by your flight commander. I left later on that afternoon so I wouldn't have to rush around with everyone else, and then that night a few of us who were still in town went out to dinner that night. It was fun to hang out with five of my flightmates and a few of their family members outside of COT! I had to drive to Texas and I knew I wouldn't get very far that first day, so I left Saturday morning and spent Friday night in Montgomery.
