This year’s graduation ceremony will be held aboard
Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton at the
11-area Football Field on
Saturday 19 July 2025 at 12 noon

Guests are allowed to enter the base through the San Luis Rey gate to attend graduation. The address for GPS purposes is:
1110 13th St, Oceanside, CA 92058.

If the guest already possesses a CAC (Common Access Card), he/she may enter Camp Pendleton via any of the available gates. However, requirements for proof of insurance and a valid driver’s license remain. For civilians, access will only be through the San Luis Rey gate from 0900-1215 on 19 July. Please be sure to give yourself plenty of time to find parking and seating in the Football Stadium.

If you do not have a CAC you will need to have a sponsor to be on base. Devil Pups will be your sponsor. In order to be sponsored we need to gather some information. Please visit this page to fill out the form for anyone over 18 years old without a CAC. If you are an LR or an Approved Candidate, the form is available now. If you are not, the form will be available on 1 July and must be completed before 10 July 2025.

We will have minor concessions available as well as our Devil Pups Store and you can also purchase the Camp Video and Camp Photo before and after graduation. (you are welcome to bring snacks and drinks however alcohol is not permitted). Dress code is casual but it is outdoors, so plan accordingly.
