Commissioning questions

[nautticca]

I'm hoping someone can help me out with these questions, as I am set to commission as a 1st LT. In the Air Force within the next month.1. Is there a particular location the commissioning ceremony should take place?2. What is the appropriate attire? Blues or collared shirt and slacks? I was thinking civilian clothes because I haven't been taught the proper way to wear the service blues uniform. However, I would love to have my bars pinned on my uniform by my husband and dad. Just not sure what's allowed.3. After commissioning how long does it usually take to receive orders. It's my understanding that everything comes to a halt without them?Thanks for taking to time to answer my questions, I appreciate it:)

Haha!!! Are you having a small intimate commissioning or something a little larger. I'm having the hardest time trying to get this thing planned

my plan is to have family and friends over. this is such an awesome step for my family and I so, I want to make it memorable for all.

I agree. Are you having the commissioning at your house or are you doing it somewhere else? I plan on having it at my house with about 20 family members, having some food catered and just enjoying each other. I will be heading across the world for my first duty station so I want to make sure I spend some quality time with my family

great idea. especially because they are sending you out of the country.

from what i have been told, i will be able to have the Commissioning at my house.

Scroll time varies by when it goes to the Senate.
