No need to jump the gun, your course staff will run you through the whole graduation parade before you graduate.

Yeah, don't worry it will all be covered. You're not expected to go out there knowing how to do everything. You will have many practices to get it all down pat. If you have graduated, congrats. If you're still on course or about to attend, give em hell and good luck.

The only way you will be saluting anyone on grad parade is if you receive an award, and there is only three to four per platoon, and you graduate with the entire company. The parade is maybe an hour long, and the 11th week in BMQ is all clearing out and parade practice..............lots of parade practice.............mind numbing parade practice.

I believe you forgot "leg, toes, feet falling asleep on parade practice". ;D
As posted above, you will only be called up front if you win an award. If this applies to you don't worry you will practice it alot. Make sure your weapons drill is good, you do alot of present arms, shoulder arms and order arms on parade. As for foot drill, I hope you know some french ;D Because its all called in french during the parade. I found that to be the hardest part for me, still nothing to worry about though they drill it into your head.
