Why This Exists
I remember my graduation day. After months of being pushed past every limit I thought I had, I finally saw my family in the crowd.
But I also remember the trainees who stood at parade rest with no one there. Some families couldn't afford the trip. Others couldn't get the time off. And some just couldn't figure out the logistics of getting to a military base across the country they'd never been to.
I can't solve the cost problem.
I can make sure that confusing logistics are never the reason a family misses their Airman's graduation.
Who Built This
Ed Conde
I come from a military family. One grandfather Air Force, the other Navy, uncles who served, and my mom was Air Force too. I build digital products for a living, right here in San Antonio.
I built BMT Grad Week because military families deserve one place for everything they need to plan graduation week.
