The date of the Mystic Flag Ceremony for the Class of 2013 has not been officially announced, however it is widely believed that it will be held on Sat 7/25.
What is the Mystic Flag Day? That is the day we will be picking up our Aimster and were planning on visiting Mystic Seaport that day.

It's not an event you need to feel like you MUST attend. I think for me, it was overshaddowed by the fact that we anticipated doing something wrong and getting yelled at. It was nice to get our class flag though. Their class president will keep it in his/her room.
Nice time, but not a must.
We would love to go, but can't. Saving vacation time and dollars for parent's weekend. We are, however, hoping that he finds a phone to call home if they are allowed. It would be nice to hear his voice.
There are ALWAYS people there willing to let a swab use a phone to call home. Sometimes parents bring extras. Make sure he asks someone....don't let him not call home because he is too shy/embarrassed to borrow a phone. Thats why parents sometimes bring extra phones.
I will make sure to include your advice in my next letter. He probably would not have the nerve to ask to use someone else's phone though. I am encourage by all of the postings, and the conversations we had on R-Day, that a local parent might just extend the offer to him. Everyone has been so kind and offers of including him at Mystic have already been extended. Great community! We feel very lucky to be a part of such a nice bunch of kids and parents
Thats the first time we truly realized how the cadet parents really look after other cadets at CGA.
So true. They become very good friends as they stalk each others kids.
