Yes. Families across branches know it as a military graduation, though each service has its own title: Air Force and Space Force BMT, Army BCT, Navy Boot Camp, Marine Corps Recruit Graduation, and Coast Guard Recruit Training Graduation.
As early as possible. Weeks can fill up quickly, so it’s best to book when you receive projected dates.
