Yup. That. Minus get drunk, because the RDC's still own you until you are at the airport en-route to A School. So don't do that; you'll get caught (I've seen it happen in my short stay at boot camp on more than one occasion). In fact, when you report to A School, while tobacco is now ok, alcohol is still not permitted until you are NMT phase 2 (depends on how long the school is, can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months)

Is there a shuttle from Navy Lodge to graduation?

Yes there is, but I wouldnt count on it being on time as it is mainly for active duty to use to get to and from base and the airport. I would highly advise you to rent a car.

Even if there was, I wouldn't recommend using it, there are going to be SO many people coming to see graduation

So Basically Fly from wherever you are. Rent a car and a hotel room around BC and drive to graduation?
