Are parents allowed to observe the swearing in ceremony on Friday June 24? Or is Thursday the 23rd, in-processing day, the last time we see our DS/DD until acceptance day. Just wanted to plan for flights. Thanks.
 
It's my understanding parents can witness the ceremony from a viewing area, but we will not have any contact with the cadets before or after the ceremony. So you're basically playing Where's Waldo searching for your 1 cadet out of a sea of 1100 dressed identically with hats on. 😂 Good luck, and may the force be with you!

FWIW, I scheduled my return flight for 5pm on the 24th and will be watching the ceremony.
 
From start to finish, the swearing-in ceremony doesn't take much longer than 20 minutes. I could totally be wrong since our perception of time was screwed during basic, but that's where I'd put it. It's not very long.
