• Return time is 1900, with an encouraged return by 1830.
Please note: If a trainee is late returning on Sunday, they will not be permitted to go on pass Monday.
Please note that a few trainees will not be able to participate in the ceremony or pass at this time due to not yet meeting all Basic Combat Training standards. If this applies to your trainee, you will receive a phone call with details about their status and participation.
We understand how meaningful this weekend is for both families and trainees, and we truly appreciate your continued love, patience, and encouragement as they work to meet Army standards.
Important Reminder: During pass, trainees remain in a training status and must continue to follow all guidelines outlined in TRADOC Regulation 350-6. This includes no smoking, no drinking, and remaining within a 50-mile radius of Fort Benning.
We can’t wait to celebrate this special moment with all of you!
Please plan to arrive early, as parking and seating fill quickly.
