<p>What/when is the Flag Ceremony. I understand that it's the first chance to see your swab after R-Day.</p>
<p>Last year was July 28th, so this year it should be July 26th.</p>
<p>USCGA-PA</a> - Mystic Seaport Flag Ceremony</p>
<p>They also have a LOT of pictures, click the "photo albums" link on the top left of the homepage.</p>
<p>"I understand that it's the first chance to see your swab after R-Day"</p>
<p>It depends on which company your swab is in. Last year Alpha, Bravo and Charlie was away on the Eagle during the Mystic Flag Ceremony.</p>
<p>If you do go, you can follow the regiment march into the Mystic Seaport, admissions free. After instruction from the cadre they will be release for about 2 hrs. before the ceremony. </p>
<p>Following the ceremony the regiment marches back to the buses in the parking area, returns to academy for lunch and then is released for about a 5 hour liberty. </p>
<p>During liberty, the cadets will allowed to use cell phones to call their friends.</p>
<p>thanks for the quick feedback!</p>
<p>Not sure if it's on the Parents Association web site yet, but the date/time of the Flag Ceremony has been confirmed: Saturday, July 26th at 1100</p>
<p>Of course, Swab Summer company assignments won't be out for another month and Alfa, Bravo, Charlie normally miss the event for their short EAGLE cruise.</p>
