A little planning...

So in anticipation of Graduation I have been compiling list and maps and details like crazy.... which I wanted to share a bit of so other's can use it as a reference point =)

Do
Walk on Airman's Left side

Refer to Airman by name not title

Stand when Senior Officer enters & is announced

Offer Airman umbrella in rain, but ONLY if it's BLACK

Don't have Airman push stroller in uniform.

Help Airman carry items to help him keep a hand free to salute
  
after the Coin Ceremony  go over the bridge to the mall
You must wear seat belts at all times while on base.
stop at 5PM when the retreat is played over the loud speakers, and must remain stopped while it plays
stop for Pedestrians crossing the street, they have the right away.
Your Airman must have at all times on their person: Dog Tags, Flashlight, I.D./ Wallet
NO Jay walking. I've heard of too many Air men lose their liberty on town passes.
It is illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving a car on base.

 
Don't
Show PDA, except for homecomings & goodbyes

Offer Airman gum in uniform

Allow him to put hand in pocket unless retrieving item
Refer to your husband’s orders as “our orders” unless you are a service member yourself.
If you happen to see your Airman when they have not been released from the Flight, Do not approach them, Talk to Them Etc., they will get in trouble.
Follow the speed limit.
pictures with the airplanes. Go either Thursday or Saturday or Sunday to take pictures.
 
Do Not 
Park if it shows a Rank or Title, any kind of marking, just find another parking place.

Don't ask Airmen that are walking for directions.

Be careful not to lock your keys in your car.


do not walk on the grass on base! Stay on the sidewalks and walkways. : )
 
 
More Important Information

It seemed like everyone tried to stay on one side of the base right after the Coin Ceremony. We didn't realize that you can go over the bridge to the mall.

You can drive to the graduation ceremony, however, it is VERY limited parking. We stayed on base lodging and it was literally across the street for us, so we just walked. The shuttle buses that people took were extremely crowded trying to return. After graduation, dorm visit is for only one hour.

If you try to buy something at the on base mall, you must have your Airman (unless you have Military ID).party store attached to the gas station on base, you do not need military id.
