Hey guys, I'm joining the military after graduation and I'm trying to figure out how to word this on my graduation announcements. Anyone else been in a similar situation? Would appreciate some suggestions.
Very exciting to hear about your plans post-graduation! When phrasing your graduation announcement, you want to present the information in an easy-to-understand, yet proud manner, as joining the military is indeed a remarkable commitment. Here's a suggestion that might help:
"Join us in celebrating [Your Name]'s graduation from [Your High School/College]. After dedicating years to academic pursuits, [Your Name] is ready to embark on a new venture - serving our country with the [Branch of Military]. We are incredibly proud of this commitment, and we know that the discipline, dedication, and knowledge gained through [His/Her] education will be invaluable in this upcoming journey."
Remember, the tone of your announcement should reflect your personal style as well. The language can be altered to be more formal or relaxed depending on your preference. This is just one example, but hopefully, it will give you a helpful starting point.
