Class of 2030 Swearing-In Ceremony

The Basic Cadets’ Swearing-In Ceremony is typically held the day after In-Processing Day and is conducted by the commandant of cadets.

Family members and guests are welcome to attend. Basic Cadets will form on the parade field by flight, starting with Flight (A) on the left and ending with the last flight, typically Flight H, on the right. To ensure you’re sitting in the best location to see your cadet, please verify your cadet’s flight information before attending.

Please note that contact with Basic Cadets is not permitted during or after the ceremony.
