Graduations are held on Wednesdays beginning at 2:00 PM at Barnes Avenue Friendship Chapel on Ft. Gordon, GA. Ceremonies last for approximately one hour. Dates and times are subject to change. Please contact your Soldier or the Battalion Personnel Sergeant (S-1) to confirm dates and times.


Fort Gordon is approximately 142 miles east of Atlanta, 80 miles southwest of Columbia, South Carolina and 122 miles northwest of Savannah, Georgia. Fort Gordon is best reached via Interstate 20. Take Exit 194 to Belair Road and Dyess Parkway. Follow the Dyess Parkway signs, and also the Fort Gordon signs. Take note that the exit numbers on I-20 were changed in January 2000; Exit 194 may appear on some older maps as Exit 63. Also, if approaching from the east (from Columbia), you will see signs directing you to take exit 196A to reach Fort Gordon. Do not exit there, go on to Exit 194 instead. Dyess Parkway will bring you directly into the post through McKenna Gate, also known as Gate 1.


Once you enter Gate 1, go straight until you come to the second traffic light, turn left at Rice Rd, go straight until the first light and turn right onto Barnes Ave. Continue straight for about 3/4 mile the graduation ceremony will be on the left in Building Bldg 25603 Barnes Ave, Friendship Chapel.
